Glucose. (However, just about any kind of monosaccharide can be converted to glucose in living organisms.)
In aerobic respiration, 36 or 38 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose, depending on how many are gained through the electron transfer system.In anaerobic respiration 2 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose, though higher yields can occur in higher temperatures (as much as 9 ATP molecules per molecule of glucose)
Fermentation is extremely inefficient in terms of the number of ATP molecules produced for each molecule of glucose metabolized
Alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation are similar because glucose is oxidized to two molecules of pyruvic acid. The difference between them is that alcohol fermentation yield two molecules of ATP also.
Ethanol and carbon dioxide are produced during alcoholic fermentation. C6H12O6 ---> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 Glucose breaks down in the presence of enzymes to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide. C2H5OH is the chemical formula for ethanol.
2 ATP are produced in anaerobic respiration(fermentation)

ethanol
glucose (C6H12O6)
There are two types of fermentation, alcoholic and lactic acid fermentation. The reactant for both is glucose, C6H12O6.
In aerobic respiration which incorporates oxygen, 36 molecules are produced per 1 molecule of glucose and in anaerobic respiration (fermentation) where no oxygen is incorporated, only 2 molecules are produced per 1 molecule of glucose
The total amount of ATP produced during fermentation is 2 for every glucose molecule.

Maltose is produced when two glucose molecules join.
