What is glycolysis? Where does it take place?
Answers
Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration that involves the breaking down of glucose into smaller molecules to produce ATP (cellular energy). Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of all living organisms.
In all organisms Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol because that is where glucose and other related enzymes can be found in high concentrations. When we think about viruses, which are not considered living organisms, glycolysis doesn’t occur at all. This is because the viruses hijacks the metabolic process of the host cell and does not carry out glycolysis itself.

Answer:
"Glycolysis" means the splitting of glucose. The first step of the process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and yields a small amount of energy (measured in units of ATP) and two molecules of pyruvate. The other steps occur in the mitochondria. It is an ongoing process as your cells have a constant need for energy.
