Why is it impossible for rapid direct oxidation to originate in the cell environment?

If glucose were rapidly oxidised within the cell,the sudden amount of heat generated would destroy the cell.Energy is produced by a series of reactions which cause energy to be released in a gradual and controlled manner.The energy released is used to make a substance which can store and release energy called ATP(adenosine triphosphate)
One molecule of glucose can produce 38 ATPs.
The first stage in the reaction is known as glycolosis,and is anaerobic (Takes place in the absence of oxygen) and results in the production of 2 ATPs.The next stage known as the Krebb cycle can only take place in the presence of oxygen resulting in the production of 38 ATPs.Thus through a series of oxidation and reduction reactions energy is gradually released from glucose.
This is an oversimplification of the process ,which involves a number of enzymes,co- enzymes and cytochromes

What are the effects of alloys on the environment?
An "alloy" is the combination of two or more elements (usually metals). As such, they have no direct impact on the environment, other than how they were obtained (e.g., mining) and how they were produced (e.g., smelting). Since the question does not specify which alloy, if any, is of interest, it is virtually impossible to give a more detailed answer.
