Glucose.
Explanation:
Glucose breaks apart into two molecules of pyruvate. This break down produces a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH (electron carriers).
Glycolysis is strictly an anaerobic process that occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. Once pyruvate is made, aerobic respiration will begin with Kreb's Cycle if oxygen is present or go to anaerobic respiration through fermentation if oxygen is absent.
