Glucose-->Pyruvate(2x)
Glucose contains six carbon atoms, whereas pyruvate only contains three, so it is possible to derive two pyruvate molecules (3+3 carbon atoms) from one glucose molecule (=6 carbon atoms). During the early stages of glycolysis, the glucose is converted into Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. This molecule also has six carbon atoms, and is split by an enzyme called 'fructose biphosphate aldolase' into two separate molecules containing three carbon atoms: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. It is the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate that is later converted into pyruvate, accounting for the first pyruvate molecules from glucose. However, the other 3-carbon molecule, dihydroxyacetone phosphate, is kept in equilibium with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate by an enzyme known as 'triose phosphate isomerase', so that this is eventually converted into pyruvate as well. The result being two pyruvate molecules per glucose molecule.
The molecule needed to start glycolysis is glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar that serves as the initial substrate for the glycolytic pathway, which then breaks down glucose into smaller molecules to produce energy in the form of ATP.
Two monosaccharides are needed to form one maltose molecule. Specifically, maltose is comprised of two glucose molecules joined together through a condensation reaction, which releases a molecule of water.
There are 2 FAD and NAD and molecules. This is to breakdown each glucose molecule.
It takes 2 monosaccharide molecules to form a maltose molecule. Those are 2 glucose molecules. So 2 glucose molecules join together to make 1 maltose molecule.

Approximately 288 molecules of glucose are needed to produce 300 molecules of ATP in aerobic respiration. This is because one molecule of glucose yields around 36-38 molecules of ATP through glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria.

Six molecules of RuBP (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate) are needed to produce one molecule of glucose through the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis.
