Where does glycolysis take place?

Correct Answer: Cytoplasm

Explanation:

"Glycolysis" means the splitting of glucose. The first step of the process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and yields a small amount of energy (measured in units of ATP) and two molecules of pyruvate.


The other steps occur in the mitochondria. It is an ongoing process as your cells have a constant need for energy.
