Answer
A) Glycerol is obtained from the hydrolysis of triglycerol by glycerol kinase. Glycerol enters the glycolysis pathway as dihydroxyacetone phosphate.
B) one ATP is required to convert glycerol in glycerol-3-phosphate. This yield two ATP later in conversion of glycerol-3 phosphate up to pyruvate. So the net yield will be one ATP.
