I think I will make a more general answer that covers all the biomarcomolecules. See attachment. The first stage is the oxidation of the molecule of interest to acetyl-CoA. Glucose goes as Rina choose to say through the glycolysis. Fats through the beta oxidation, and aminoacids in their respective pathway. The second stage for them all is Kreb's cycle. This cycle is all about the oxidation of acetyl groups, including 4 electron withdrawing steps. The third step is for the electrons to enter the electron transport chain, where molecular oxygen is getting reduced to water, by the means of the electrons extracted from the previous steps. This electron flow, then drives the ATP productions by the ATP syntase.
