In which part of the cell does glycolysis occur in both aerobic and anaerobic organisms?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cytoplasm (cytosol)
Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm (cytosol) of the cell and does not require any membrane-bound organelles. It is therefore the common initial pathway for both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
