Glycolysis occurs in most organisms in the cytosol of the cell. The most common type of glycolysis is the Embden -- Meyerhof -- Parnas (EMP pathway), which was discovered by Gustav Embden, Otto Meyerhof, and Jakub Karol Parnas. Glycolysis also refers to other pathways, such as the Entner -- Doudoroff pathway and various heterofermentative and homofermentative pathways. However, the discussion here will be limited to the Embden -- Meyerhof -- Parnas pathway.
