The type of cellular respiration that performs complete aerobic oxidation of glucose is glycolysis.
It involves 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.

The process of glycolysis refers to breaking down of glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid.
Presence of Oxygen: During the Kerb’s cycle, acetyl CoA is formed from pyruvic acid when oxygen is present and is responsible for the complete oxidation of glucose.
Oxygen is required for the complete oxidation of glucose.
Hence, the answer is glycolysis.
