Which part of the cell does glycolysis occur in?
Correct answer: A. Cytoplasm
- A. Cytoplasm
- B. Mitochondria
- C. Nucleus
- D. Endoplasmic reticulum
Explanation
This is the correct answer. Glycolysis, the initial stage of cellular respiration, occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. It is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

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.
