In plant cells, glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, similar to animal cells. The process involves the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate, generating small amounts of ATP and NADH. In plants, glycolysis can take place during both photosynthesis and cellular respiration, depending on the availability of light and oxygen. The pyruvate can enter the mitochondria for aerobic respiration or undergo fermentation.
