Answer

True

Work Step by Step

Glucose oxidation occurs in glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, not in a single step. If this had occurred in only one step, then all the energy would be released at once and it would be impossible to harness it efficiently to drive other reactions.
