The first step of the process is the digestion.

Glycolysis.
Yes - glucose is broken down in the first step of cellular respiration. This stage is known as glycolysis and occurs in the cytoplasm. Cellular respiration begins with glucose and ends creating ATP.
Cellular Respiration is a three step process; Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain. Effective cellular respiration is an aerobic cycle, meaning that it requires oxygen. The first step, glycolysis, is an anaerobic process, meaning it does not require oxygen. Therefore, glycolysis is always able to take place. The next step is the Krebs Cycle. This is an aerobic process and does not take place in the absence of oxygen. If there is an absence of oxygen, bodily toxins such as ethyl alcohol and lactic acid are produced and cellular respiration is not carried out. To answer your question, a lack of oxygen is what disrupts cellular respiration.

Glycolysis or "Splitting of sugar", has to happen in the cell's cytoplasm before cellular respiration can occur. I hope this helps!

Glucose and oxygen begin the process of respiration.
Glycolysis breaks down glucose to form the reactants of cellular respiration
