Exactly four.
Wouldn't it actually be six because the glucose molecule is set up as : C6H12O6?
Yes, it's actually 6
6
6 oxygen molecules
In cellular respiration, glucose is oxidized into pyruvate.
Biology textbooks often state that 38 ATP molecules can be made per oxidized glucose molecule during cellular respiration (2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and about 34 from the electron transport system).
2 molecules of ATP are used and 4 molecules of ATP are produced.
Glycolysis is a 10 step enzymatically catalyzed reaction which splits up a glucose molecule into two molecules of pyruvate. The process of glycolysis can occur in absence of oxygen. A net yield of 2 ATP is obtained at the end of gylcolysis for every molecule of glucose oxidized.
Chemical energy is stored in form of bonds
Six CO2 molecules will be produced for every glucose molecule completely oxidized. Glucose contains six Carbon atoms, hence the six CO2 molecules.
Carbon atoms from a complex organic food molecule, such as glucose, are completely oxidized at the end of its reaction chain. Carbon dioxide is the waste that is released as a result of this reaction.
oxidized into carbon

In heterotrophs digestion provide glucose molecules.These molecules are oxidized in respiration

Oxidized.
Glucose is. In cell respiration, the carbon atoms of glucose are oxidized.

Glucose is completely oxidized after chemiosmosis because that's when the final products of Glycolysis and The Citric Acid Cycle are used creating the final 36 to 38 ATP molecules. The final products that are used are NADH and FADH2 which are needed in the electron transport chain and ultimatley Chemiosmosis. Hope i answered your question.
