Glycolysis is a process found in:
Correct answer: A. Animal cells
- A. Animal cells
- B. Red blood cells
- C. Neurons
- D. Epidermal cells
Explanation
Glycolysis is a process that breaks down glucose into pyruvate in the cytoplasm of cells, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH. It occurs in animal cells, providing energy even when oxygen is low. Other cell types, such as red blood cells, neurons, and epidermal cells, do not rely on glycolysis as their primary energy source.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
