Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The loss of electrons is called oxidation. The gain of electrons is called reduction. Because any loss of electrons by one substance must be accompanied by a gain in electrons by something else, oxidation and reduction always occur together.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose is oxidized to carbon dioxide, water and energy in aerobic respiration. The excess energy gets stored in the cell in the form of ATP.
Detailed explanation-3: -In cellular respiration, glucose is oxidized, and oxygen is reduced to form CO2 and water.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is an oxidative process whereby an electron donor is oxidized and oxygen is reduced to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy [3].
