  • Question
  • Where does glycolysis take place?


  • Options
  • A. Mitichondria
  • B. Cytoplasm
  • C. Mitochondrial outer membrane
  • D. None of above

  • 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.
