Answered step-by-step

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of all cells, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic. It involves a sequence of enzyme-catalyzed reactions that break down glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP and NADH. This process is essential for energy production, especially under anaerobic conditions, and serves as the starting point for cellular respiration.
