Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Energy is needed at the start of glycolysis to split the glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules which go on to stage II of cellular respiration. The energy needed to split glucose is provided by two molecules of ATP; this is called the energy investment phase.
Detailed explanation-2: -Aerobic respiration produces 38 ATP molecules, while anaerobic respiration produces 2 ATP molecules per molecule of glucose used.
