Question

• A. In the cytoplasm
• B. Within mitochondrion
• C. On rough ER
• D. Within grana

Answer 1

The correct option is A In the cytoplasm

Glycolysis is the splitting of glucose into two pyruvate molecules. It occurs firstly in the cytoplasm and gains a small amount of energy while the other steps occur in the mitochondria where coenzymes and cytochromes are present, it is also the powerhouse of a cell where energy is generated.

So, the correct option is ' in the cytoplasm'.
