Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

False. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell, not in the mitochondria. Glycolysis produces a net gain of 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 molecules of pyruvate. The pyruvate is then transported into the mitochondria for further processing through the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation to produce additional ATP.
