You dont give options so i answer as much as i can!

First the cell which is burning triglyceride (a fat molecule) will have high energy yield than tge cell burning glucose!

second; inspite both cell is burning different substrate but they will go through same process of Kreb cycle or TCA cycle and followed by ETS cycle to give ATP molecules!

there are approx 200 atp is produced by a fat molecule but only 38 ATP from a glucose molecule!

Hope this clears a lot!
