Recall the basic definition of glycolysis: it is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH in the process.
Understand that glycolysis occurs in the part of the cell where enzymes and substrates for this pathway are freely available and not compartmentalized within organelles.
Identify the cellular compartments listed: cytosol (cytoplasm), mitochondrial matrix, inner mitochondrial membrane, and nucleus.
Recognize that glycolysis is a cytoplasmic process because it does not require mitochondria and occurs before pyruvate enters the mitochondria for further processing.
Conclude that glycolysis takes place in the cytosol (cytoplasm) of eukaryotic cells.
