Which of the following processes takes place in the cytosol of a eukaryotic cell?
a. glycolysis
b. electron transport chain
c. citric acid cycle
d. ATP production by ATP synthase
e. acetyl CoA formation

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct option is A, GLYCOLYSIS.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is broken down inside cells to produce energy, which cells need to carry out their life activities.

Glycolysis normally takes place in the cytosol part of cells and it represents the first step in the cellular respiration process. The process of glycolysis yield two ATP and pyruvate, which is decarboxylated to form acetly coA that is used in the kreb cycle (Citric Acid Cycle).

The citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain are the second and third stage of cellular respiration respectively and they both take place in the mitochondria.

Answer:

The correct answer is a. glycolysis

Explanation:

Glycolysis is also known called EMP pathway because it was discovered by three German scientists Gustav Embden, Otto Meyerhof and J. Parnas in 1930. Glycolysis is the process of partial oxidation of glucose or similar hexose sugar into two molecules of pyruvic acid through a series of ten enzyme mediated reactions releasing some energy (as ATP) and reducing power (as [tex]NADH_{2}[/tex] ). It occurs in cytosol or cytoplasm and is common to both aerobic and anaerobic mode of repiration.
