while ATP produce high ATP why glucose considerd best
substrate in cellular respiration?

Although there is a theoretical yield of 38 ATP molecules per glucose during cellular respiration, such conditions are generally not realized because of losses such as the cost of moving pyruvate (from glycolysis), phosphate, and ADP (substrates for ATP synthesis) into the mitochondria

Sorry... Question is.... Lipid produced high amount of ATP than glucose.then why glucose considerd as best substrate?

Most ATP from glucose is generated in the electron transport chain. It is the only part of cellular respiration that directly consumes oxygen; however, in some prokaryotes, this is an anaerobic pathway. In eukaryotes, this pathway takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Hope it helps... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
