The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Glycolysis**: Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of energy in the form of ATP. It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and does not require oxygen, making it an anaerobic process. 2. **Analyzing Each Statement**: - **Statement 1**: "It occurs outside the mitochondria." - This statement is **correct** because glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm, which is outside the mitochondria. - **Statement 2**: "It is an anaerobic phase." - This statement is also **correct**. Glycolysis can occur without oxygen, classifying it as anaerobic. - **Statement 3**: "Glucose undergoes partial oxidation to form two molecules of pyruvic acid." - This statement is **correct**. During glycolysis, one molecule of glucose is partially oxidized to produce two molecules of pyruvate. - **Statement 4**: "Glucose is phosphorylated to glucose 6-phosphate by isomerase enzyme." - This statement is **incorrect**. The phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate is catalyzed by the enzyme hexokinase, not an isomerase. 3. **Conclusion**: The only incorrect statement regarding glycolysis is **Statement 4**. **Final Answer**: The wrong statement with respect to glycolysis is: "Glucose is phosphorylated to glucose 6-phosphate by isomerase enzyme." ---
