Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -During glycolysis, glucose ultimately breaks down into pyruvate and energy; a total of 2 ATP is derived in the process (Glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi–> 2 Pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 ATP + 2 H2O).
Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose is oxidised completely to carbon dioxide and water with the release of energy. For every glucose molecule oxidised in aerobic respiration a net of 36-38 ATP molecules are gained.
