Answer:

Glucose loses electrons and hydrogen to form carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

During cellular respiration, glucose is oxidized into carbon dioxide. Oxidation of glucose refers to the process in which it loses electrons and hydrogen atoms. The product is carbon dioxide which is an oxidized substance. The released electrons are accepted by NAD+ and FAD+ and result in the formation of NADH and FADH2.

Answer: <u>Option 4; Oxygen gains electrons and hydrogen to form water. </u>

Respiration is a process where glucose is used and energy is released stored in this molecule. Oxygen is used during respiration as well and it gains the electrons and hydrogen to form water. And, gain of electrons is an oxidation reaction. So answer is option 4.

Since, oxygen is consumed during respiration, option 1 is incorrect.

Loss of electrons is reduction, so option 2 is also incorrect.

Glucose is used in respiration, thus option 3 is incorrect.

artcher [175]

<span>Personal protective equipment is only helpful if regulations for using it are followed carefully. If it is not worn and used properly, then it will not function properly and it might not provide the protection that is needed in the situation. For example, a helmet is only effective if it is fitted properly and snugly on the head. Otherwise it could fall off in an accident and be rendered useless.</span>
