Detailed explanation-1: -Energy is needed at the start of glycolysis to split the glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules. These two molecules go on to stage II of cellular respiration. The energy to split glucose is provided by two molecules of ATP.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycolysis: The Foundation of Cellular Respiration This process requires the investment of 2 ATP molecules and yields 4 ATP in addition to the pyruvate and another type of molecule called NADH, which will contribute to the final step of cellular respiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -One glucose molecule yields four ATP molecules in total during glycolysis. Since 2 ATP molecules are used up in the first phase of glycolysis, there is a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.
