Solution
The correct option is C Cytoplasm
Glycolysis is a pathway in which the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid occurs. It results in partial oxidation of glucose. It takes place in the cytoplasm of all living cells irrespective of whether they are aerobic or anaerobic.
Chloroplast is an organelle found in the photosynthetic cells of green plants. It is the site of photosynthesis i.e., formation of glucose in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. The breakdown of glucose does not take place in chloroplast.
Mitochondria are organelles found in all eukaryotic organisms. They participate in complete oxidation of glucose after glycolysis. They are the sites of Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
Ribosomes are also found in almost all living cells. They are not membrane-bound organelles. They primarily participate in protein synthesis and play no role in glycolytic pathway.
