When you hear the word 'respiration', you probably think of breathing. Well, cellular respiration is not the same thing as breathing. It's actually a metabolic process that involves breaking apart glucose (sugar) to create a form of cellular energy called ATP(glycolysis).In your cells, cellular respiration happens in a special organelle called the mitochondrion, but prokaryotic organisms don't have organelles. Rather than taking place in the mitochondrion, cellular respiration happens either in the cytoplasm, or across the plasma membrane of the cell. Scientists believe that the mitochondria in our cells are actually bacteria that moved in to perform cellular respiration for us.
According to my coursebook, glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of a cell, and so the enzymes needed for the glycolytic pathway should be in the cytoplasm. The ans is D
Glycolysis. Glycolytic enzymes are located in the sarcoplasm and are associated with the sarcoplasmic reticulum [10,11]. They convert glucose-6-phosphate and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides (NAD+) to pyruvate and NADH by producing two molecules of ATP.
