Question

Where does glycolysis takes place? a. mitochondrial intermembrane space b. cytosol c. mitochondrial matrix d. mitochondrial outer membrane e. mitochondrial inner membrane

Answer 1

Cytosol.

Step-by-step explanation:

Glycolysis may be defined as the breakdown of the glucose molecule to generate ATP with the help of chemicals and enzymes. Glycolysis may occur in the presence, absence and limited supply of oxygen.

The main site of the glycolysis is cytosol. The glycolysis is performed in the cyotosol of all organism as the essential environment and important enzymes are provided by the cytosol for the process of glycolysis.

Thus, the answer is option (b).

Answer 2

The correct answer will be option B- cytosol.

Step-by-step explanation:

Glycolysis is a series of reactions which breaks down the glucose (6C molecule) to pyruvates (3C molecule).

The reaction is the first stage of the aerobic respiration which proceeds in ten steps. The reactions take place in the "cytoplasm of the cell" of all organisms from micro-organisms to plant and animals.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
