Question

(a) grana (b) cytosol
(c) stroma (d) mitochondria

Answer 1

Answer:

it occurs in the cytoplasm..however there is no other option mentioned ill explain

the next process of glycolysis is tca cycle which takes place in mitochondria... but i say for the correct answer stick to cytoplasm ..reconfirm the options thanks

Answer 2

Glycolysis occurs in the (b) Cytosol .

• Glycolysis is the cyclic pathway which involves the breakdown of glucose molecule to form pyruvate molecules.
• The breakdown of 1 molecule of glucose produce 2 molecules of pyruvate.
• Glycolysis involves three phase:

1. Energy Utilization Phase - In this the steps utilize 2 molecule of ATP.
2. Splitting Phase - In this the Fructose-1,6 Bi phosphate split into Di-hydroxy acetone phosphate and glyceralaldehyde 3 Phosphate with the help of Aldophase enzyme.
3. Energy Formation Phase - In this phase 2 molecule of ATP and 1 molecules of NADH is formed.
