Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Glycolysis breaks down glucose (6-C) into two molecules of pyruvate (3C), and also produces: Hydrogen carriers (NADH) from an oxidised precursor (NAD+) A small yield of ATP (net gain of 2 molecules)

Answer:

Anaerobic cell respiration (glycolysis + fermentation) produces 2 ATP/glucose consumed. Aerobic cell respiration (glycolysis + the Krebs cycle + respiratory electron transport) produces 36 ATP/glucose consumed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anaerobic respiration (without oxygen)

During glycolysis, glucose molecules (six-carbon molecules) are split into two pyruvates (three-carbon molecules) during a sequence of enzyme-controlled reactions. This is the same reaction as occurs in aerobic respiration.
