cytoplasm
Pyruvate is broken down in the mitochondria of the cell through a process called aerobic respiration. Pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA, which then enters the citric acid cycle to produce ATP, the cell's main energy source.
Cellular respiration often begins with glycolysis, where glucose is broken down into pyruvate. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and generates a small amount of ATP.
Glucose is broken down into pyruvate.
When the cell gains gluclose, the process of glycolysis occurs and the gluclose is broken down down into pyruvate. In pyruvate processing, Acetyl CoA is produced nad then used in the Krebs Cycle. There, NADH and FADH2 are made and go to the electron transport chain, where water and ATP are made. *
2 ATP molecules are used to break the glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules in the cytoplasm. Then the pyruvate travels to the mitochondria, where it is broken down further and produces 34 ATP molecules, which are used to power a cell.
Glycolysis, which converts glucose into pyruvate, occurs in the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is a thick liquid.
Glucose is broken down to pyruvate during oxidative phosphorylation.
Glycolysis is the process in which glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm of cells to produce pyruvate. This series of reactions generates ATP, NADH, and pyruvate, which can then enter the citric acid cycle for further energy production.

The reactions of glycolysis occur in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell. The enzymes required for glycolysis are found in the cytoplasm, where glucose is broken down into pyruvate to produce energy in the form of ATP.
Glucose enters the cell by the glucose transporters. It is then broken down to make ATP in two pathways. Anaerobic metabolism is when oxygen is not required. This is also known as glycolysis which takes place in the cytoplasm.
In a process called cellular respiration, glucose is broken down into smaller molecules like pyruvate, which are then processed in the mitochondria to produce ATP, the cell's main energy source. This ATP is used to power various cellular processes and activities.
