I assume that you are talking about glycolysis and cellular respiration (Krebs cycle and electron transport chain). Any of the four major biomolecules (proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and carbohydrates) can be oxidized (used to donate electrons in the formation of NADH and FADH2) for the production of ATP. The model system shown in all textbooks shows the step-wise oxidation of glucose but any of the others can also be used. The waste products are carbon dioxide gas (CO2) and water (H20).
