Oxygen is the ultimate destination of electrons stripped of glucose.
The electron transport chain through glucose
As they both accept electrons and are reduced, but NAD carries stripped electrons from glucose ( becoming NADH ) to the electron transfer chain while oxygen is the final electron acceptor.
IN electron transport chain, NaDH2 and FaDH2 get reduced to give electrons. NaDH2--->DH2+ + 2e- FaDh2---->DH2+ + 2e-
From the oxidation of glucose.
glucose--> novanet
The electron transport chain through glucose
Stripping an atom of all its protons and electrons is not possible. It would just be a core.

glucose
There are so many particles in a glucose molecule! The smallest atom is the hydrogen atom, but the hydrogen atom is made out of protons, neutrons, and electrons, the smallest being electrons. Who knows what electrons are made out of?

From the oxidation of glucose.
Electrons transfer energy from glucose to other molecules during redox reactions in cells.
Glucose. Glucose is oxidized and oxygen is reduced here.
