Where does anaerobic glycolysis occur?
Answered
Anaerobic glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. This process takes place when oxygen is limited or absent, and glucose is broken down to pyruvate through glycolysis, followed by fermentation to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis to continue. In muscle cells, anaerobic glycolysis produces lactate, while in yeast, it produces ethanol and carbon dioxide.
