Exergonic…
Organic fuel is oxidized (CH4 and C6H12O6)…
And oxygen is the oxidizing agent.
That said, this is not combustion. It’s not even a single reaction. Glucose catabolism is a process.
Also, unlike the combustion of methane, glucose catabolism is going to have many reactions. Steps. Glucose catabolism.
