Briggs · Answer 1

Answer:the item that has steps involved in glucose oxidation in an aerobic environment is ATP.

CH12O6 + 6O2 + 36Pi^-1 + 36ADP^3 - + 35H^ + = 6CO2 + 36ATP^4 - + 42H2O

Explanation:

Aerobic oxidation of glucose is coupled to the synthesis of as many as 36 molecules of ATP: Glycolysis, the initial stage of glucose metabolism, takes place in the cytosol and does not involve molecular O2. It produces a small amount of ATP and the three-carbon compound pyruvate.
