The Net Chemical Reaction. The overall chemical reaction of cellular respiration converts one six-carbon molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen into six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water. ... So the carbons in the glucose become oxidized, and the oxygens become reduced.

☆Glucose oxidised in human beings:The breakdown of one molecule of glucose results in two molecules of pyruvate, which can be further oxidized to access more energy in later processes.
☆Glucose oxidized in Yeast:In yeast, the anaerobic reactions make alcohol.So yeasts degrade glucose to two pyruvate molecules via glycolysis, generating a net of two ATP and two NADH molecules per glucose molecule.
