The two ways in which glucose provide energy are:

(a) Aerobic Respiration

Glucose (occur in cytoplasm by process glycolysis) ^{--}\rightarrowPyruvic acid (in presence of oxygen)(in mitochondria)

    ^{--}\rightarrow 6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O+38\; ATP\; (energy)

(b) Anaerobic Respiration

Glucose(occur in cytoplasm by process of glycolysis) ^{--}\rightarrowPyruvic Acid (in absence of oxygen) __^{--}\rightarrow 2C_{2}H_{5}OH+2CO_{2}+2ATP\; (energy)
