The second step to Combustion: The Krebs Cycle
The two parts of the broken glucose are used to make energy, Carbon Doixide, and more energy. Oxygen is required for this to happen.
The Third Step to Combustion: Electron Transport System
The Hytdrogen that was produced in steps 1 and 2 combine with oxygen. This prouduces water and a large amount of energy.
