Multiple Choice
In human cells, where does glycolysis primarily take place?
A
Cytosol (cytoplasm)
B
Inner mitochondrial membrane
C
Nucleus
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 the cellular compartments listed: cytosol (cytoplasm), inner mitochondrial membrane, nucleus, and mitochondrial matrix.
Know that glycolysis does not require mitochondria and happens outside of them, specifically in the fluid portion of the cytoplasm called the cytosol.
Conclude that the primary location of glycolysis in human cells is the cytosol (cytoplasm).
