When did the backhand change?

I am assuming you mean 'when did it change from single-handed to 2-handed'?

I think it mainly changed in the earlier days of Jimmy Connors and his girlfriend of the time, Chris Evert, who were both virtually top-ranked in the world. Both of them were using two-handed backhands.

Then, not long later, Bjorn Borg and Ivan Lendl had long-term great success using top-spun backhands - which had been somewhat of a rarity up until that point. With the advent of more European clay courts, the top-spin backhand established its place.

So, in effect, as grass became a less favourable surface in the world, top-spun backhands have become more 'the rage', and much more use of the two-hander as well - even for many forehands.

How many molecules of ATP are made from breaking down a molecule of glucose?

About 36 ATP molecules are produced from a single molecule of glucose. There are 2 pathways by which ATP is produced one is aerobic (in presence of oxygen) and other is anerobic (without oxygen). ATP is the energy rich molecule produced at diffferent levels when a glucose molecule undergoes breakdown into intermediate compounds through a long pathway called glycolysis which takesplace in mitochondria. A complex series of events follow in glycolysis, which involve transfer of important groups like phosphate, hydroxyl etc from or to the glucose molecule. thus ATP is produced as a result of these complex events and utilised in daily energy requirements.

Most definitely YES. If the server's partner doesn't start his/her move before the receiver strikes the ball, he/she will have difficulty getting into position to poach.

Poaching is the act of crossing in front of your partner striking the ball closer to the net so as to steal time from the opponent.
