In eukaryotic cells, where does glycolysis occur?
A
Nucleus
B
Inner mitochondrial membrane
C
Cytosol (cytoplasm)
D
Mitochondrial matrix
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH in the process.
Recall that glycolysis occurs in the part of the cell where enzymes for this pathway are located and where glucose can be readily accessed.
Identify that the nucleus is primarily involved in storing genetic material and is not the site of glycolysis.
Recognize that the inner mitochondrial membrane and mitochondrial matrix are involved in later stages of cellular respiration, such as the electron transport chain and the Krebs cycle, not glycolysis.
Conclude that glycolysis takes place in the cytosol (cytoplasm) of eukaryotic cells, where the necessary enzymes and substrates are present.
