Multiple Choice
In animal cells, where does glycolysis occur?
A
Inner mitochondrial membrane
B
Mitochondrial matrix
C
Cytosol (cytoplasm)
D
Endoplasmic reticulum lumen
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the cellular compartments involved in energy metabolism in animal cells, such as the cytosol, mitochondrial matrix, inner mitochondrial membrane, and endoplasmic reticulum lumen.
Understand that glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH in the process.
Identify that glycolysis occurs in the part of the cell where enzymes for this pathway are located and where glucose is initially processed.
Recognize that glycolysis takes place in the cytosol (also called cytoplasm), which is the fluid portion of the cell outside the organelles.
Confirm that other options like the inner mitochondrial membrane and mitochondrial matrix are involved in later stages of cellular respiration, not glycolysis.
