Multiple Choice
In eukaryotic cells, where does glycolysis take place?
A
In the nucleus
B
In the mitochondrial matrix
C
On the inner mitochondrial membrane
D
In the cytosol (cytoplasm)
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH in the process.
Recall that glycolysis occurs in the part of the cell where enzymes for this pathway are located and where glucose can be readily accessed.
Identify the cellular compartments listed: nucleus, mitochondrial matrix, inner mitochondrial membrane, and cytosol (cytoplasm).
Know that the nucleus is primarily involved in DNA storage and transcription, not glycolysis.
Recognize that glycolysis takes place in the cytosol (cytoplasm) of eukaryotic cells, outside the mitochondria, where the necessary enzymes and substrates are present.
