Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Two ATP molecules are required to start glycolysis (from glucose), and 4 are generated by substrate-level phosphorylation. An additional 2 NADH molecules are generated, which can be used to generate another 4–6 ATP molecules through the electron transport chain in the mitochondria.
