First, the glucose is broken down. Scientists refer to this step as glycolysis. Then, the second process, aerobic respiration breaks the remains of the glucose down further. During aerobic respiration, oxygen is reduced, donating an electron to hydrogen to form water. The entire process of cellular respiration oxidizes glucose.
with the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate during glycolysis. cellular respiration. -the overall process by which cells obtain energy from nutrients. -glucose is oxidized into CO2 over many smaller enzyme catalyzed steps, each releasing a small amount of energy.
