Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cell. This is true for both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.

NOTE: The cytoplasm refers to the space between the cell membrane and the nucleus, including the intracellular fluid and organelles. The cytosol, however, refers to just the fluid. Although cytoplasm would probably be accepted as a valid answer, cytosol is the terminology you want to use. It takes place in the mitochondria in both plants, animals and microogranisms.

The anaerobic phase of respiration occurs primarily in mitochondria?

The anaerobic phase of respiration actually occurs in the cytoplasm outside of the mitochondria. This phase involves glycolysis, where glucose is broken down into pyruvate to generate ATP in the absence of oxygen. The pyruvate can then enter the mitochondria for further processing in the aerobic phase of respiration if oxygen is available.


How many molecules are produced during the anaerobic phase of cellular respiration?

During the anaerobic phase of cellular respiration, glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and produces a net of 2 molecules of ATP per glucose molecule. This process does not involve the production of molecules like in the citric acid cycle or electron transport chain.


How many ATP (net) are made in the glycolysis part of cellular respiration?

Glycolysis is a 10 step enzymatically catalyzed reaction which splits up a glucose molecule into two molecules of pyruvate. The process of glycolysis can occur in absence of oxygen. A net yield of 2 ATP is obtained at the end of gylcolysis for every molecule of glucose oxidized.


What is the purpose of the grooming phase in cellular respiration?

The purpose of the grooming phase in cellular respiration (specifically referring to the preparatory steps before the Krebs cycle) is to convert the products of glycolysis into molecules that can enter the next stage of respiration. This phase helps generate molecules like Acetyl-CoA that can further contribute to the production of ATP through the electron transport chain.


What is the second stage in cellular respiration?

The second stage of cellular respiration is the transition phase. It links glycolysis with the Kreb's cycle. At this stage, the pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions.

What part of cellular respiration can take place without oxygen?

Glycolysis is the only phase of cellular respiration that can occur without oxygen. This process takes place in the cytoplasm of cells and converts glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP in the absence of oxygen.


What is the common phase between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

glycolysis


Name the phase which is common for both aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

glycolysis is the phase common to both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.


What phase of cellular respiration produces Nada h?

NADH is produced during both the glycolysis and citric acid cycle phases of cellular respiration. In glycolysis, NADH is generated when glucose is broken down into pyruvate. In the citric acid cycle, NADH is produced as acetyl-CoA is further metabolized to generate ATP.
