Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. The series of ten enzyme-catalyzed reactions that make up glycolysis take place in this region, where glucose is converted into pyruvate, producing small amounts of ATP and NADH. It is the first step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, and it is crucial for energy production in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
