    The ATP (adenoise triphosphate) is the energy rich phosphate molecule that is utilized during the energy requiring reactions while released in the energy reactions. The ATP molecules that are released or consumed in the given conditions are as follows : 1) Converting 1 mole glucose to lactate - this pathway is the anaerobic glycolysis of glucose and this releases 2 molecules of ATP. 2) Converting 2 moles of lactate to glucose - This process of forming glucose to lactate is known as gluconeogenesis and this process requires the ATP molecules. 1 mole of glucose consumes 3 ATP molecules thus, 2 moles consume 6 ATP molecules.
