Question

*Which of the following is False?*

a. Glycolysis can occur with or without O
b. Glycolysis occurs in the mitochondria
c. Glycolysis is the 1st step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration
d. Glycolysis produces 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate

Answer 1

The false statement is that glycolysis occurs in the mitochondria. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

You've asked which of the following is false:

• Glycolysis can occur with or without O2.
• Glycolysis occurs in the mitochondria.
• Glycolysis is the 1st step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
• Glycolysis produces 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate.

The false statement here is that glycolysis occurs in the mitochondria. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell, not in the mitochondria. It is the first step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration and produces 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvates as outcomes, indeed confirming that statements 'a', 'c', and 'd' are true.
