Glucose loses electrons through oxidation while oxygen gains thoes electrons throught reduction.
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O
Basically, glucose and oxygen gas, though other nutrients can go through this process. Fats, for instance.

The purpose of cellular respiration is to draw energy, oxygen and also to have carbon dioxide.
The process is called cellular respiration. It takes place in mitochondria

Cellular oxidation is part of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions that involve the redox reaction.
The two main enzymes that help catalyze Cellular Respiration are: Dehydrogenase - An enzyme that catalyzes a chemical reaction during which one or more hydrogens atoms are removed from a molecule NAD+ - Nicotinamide Adenie Dinucleotide - Coenzyme that can accept electrons during the redox reactions of cellular metabolism
