The equation for aerobic respiration is generally written:
6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
In the short answer, given the equation above, it is partially correct to say that glucose (or whatever substance is being metabolized) is oxidized, using O2 as the oxidizing agent to form C02, which is released.
But respiration is an incredibly complicated process involving multiple redox reactions. An overview can be found on Wikipedia of course, where you will see powerful oxidizers such as NAD+ and FAD2+ reacting several times during the tricarboxylic acid cycle.
Hope that helps - if you're looking for a different answer, please narrow down your question.
