Question
where does glycolysis take place?
a in the cytoplasm
b in the inner membrane of the mitochondria
c in the mitochondrial matrix
Brief Explanations
Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration. It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. The inner membrane of the mitochondria is involved in oxidative phosphorylation (part of aerobic respiration after glycolysis). The mitochondrial matrix is where the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) takes place (also part of aerobic respiration after glycolysis).
