Question

22. Glucose is converted into pyruvate in:
a. Mitochondria
b. Ribosome
c. Cytoplasm
d. Both (a) and (c)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Glycolysis (from glycose, an older term for glucose + -lysis degradation) is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose C6H12O6, into pyruvate, CH3COCOO− (pyruvic acid), and a hydrogen ion, H+. ... In most organisms, glycolysis occurs in the cytosol.
