Answer:

Glucose loses electrons and hydrogen to form carbon dioxide.

Step-by-step explanation:

During aerobic respiration, oxygen is reduced, donating an electron to hydrogen to form water. The entire process of cellular respiration oxidizes glucose. The oxygen taken in by a cell combines with glucose to produce energy in the form of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and the cell releases carbon dioxide and water. This is an oxidation reaction in which glucose is oxidized and oxygen is reduced.
