Question

Which of these statements is correct regarding the location of glycolysis and cell respiration?

A. Glycolysis occurs in the mitochondria; cell respiration occurs in the cytoplasm.

B. Both glycolysis and cell respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

C. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm; cell respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

Answer 1

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm; Cell respiration occurs in the mitochondria.

Answer 2

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. It converts glucose into pyruvate.

The free energy is released in this process to form high energy molecules know as ATP and NADH.

The process of cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria where the energy is released in the form of ATP.

The energy from the food is converted into the form of ATP which is used by the body.
