    True

    Explanation:

    A glucose molecule enters glycolysis in the cytoplasm of the cell. The glycolytic reactions break down one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. Each of the pyruvate molecules is then decarboxylated and is oxidized into acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA enters Kreb's cycle. Acetyl CoA is completely broken down into CO2 and H2O in Kreb's cycle. In this way, glycolysis and Kreb's cycle break down the glucose molecule into CO2 and H2O in a stepwise manner.
