D

Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the basic cellular compartments involved in metabolism: the cytosol, mitochondrial matrix, inner mitochondrial membrane, and nucleus.
Understand that glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH in the process.
Recognize that glycolysis occurs in the cytosol, which is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm outside the organelles in eukaryotic cells.
Note that the mitochondrial matrix and inner mitochondrial membrane are involved in later stages of cellular respiration, such as the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, not glycolysis.
Confirm that the nucleus is primarily involved in storing genetic material and regulating gene expression, not in glycolysis.
