Glycolysis occurs in the cell's ______.

The correct answer is Cytoplasm.

Key Points

• The enzymes required for Glycolysis process are found in Cytoplasm.
• Glycolysis is an anaerobic process (doesn't require oxygen) in which glucose is broken down to extract energy for cellular metabolism.
• Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
• Cytoplasm is a thick solution that fills each cell and is enclosed by the cell membrane. It is mainly composed of water, salts, and proteins. 

Additional Information

• Nucleus: It controls and regulates the activities of the cell and carries the genes, structures that contain the hereditary information.
• Lysosome : It is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts and can be used to destroy virus, bacteria.
• Ribosome: These are minute particles consisting of RNA and associated proteins that function to decode the protein message and the form the peptide bonds.
