Question

in the overall process of glycolysis and cellular respiration,________ is oxidized and________ is reduced.

Explanation:

In glycolysis and cellular respiration, glucose undergoes oxidation (loses electrons/hydrogen) as it is broken down. Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in cellular respiration (specifically in the electron - transport chain of aerobic respiration), gaining electrons (being reduced). ATP is a product (formed through phosphorylation) rather than a reactant for reduction. Carbon dioxide is a product of oxidation (not the oxidizing agent), and water is a product of oxygen reduction (not the starting material for reduction).

Answer:

C. glucose; oxygen
