Question

Where does glycolysis occur?

Answer 1

The process of glycolysis, which is the first step in cellular respiration occurs outside of the mitochondria, at the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.

Answer 2

It occurs in the cytosol of all the living species.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step of cellular respiration, which comprises the splitting of glucose into smaller molecules to generate cellular energy, that is adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is known as glycolysis. The process takes place in the cytosol of all the living species.

In all the species, glycolysis takes place in the cytosol as it the location where glucose and other associated enzymes are found in high volume.
