Oxygen + organic molecule -------> carbon dioxide + water
Yes, oxygen is used as a reactant in combustion reactions and is often depleted during the process as it combines with other elements to form combustion products such as carbon dioxide and water vapor. These combustion products contain the oxygen atoms that were part of the original reactant.
Combustion reactions always have O2 as a reactant. The other reactant is the thing being burned. If the thing being burned is a hydrocarbon, the products will be water and carbon dioxide.
reactants: an element and oxygen products: the oxide of the element
In complete combustion, all the reactants will be converted into carbon dioxide and water. In incomplete combustion, some of the reactants will be converted to carbon dioxide, some will become carbon monoxide, and some may not react at all. Quite often incomplete combustion will result in a "sooty" flame.
The product must be oxidized, i.e, Oxygen must be on the reactant side. Also, the reactant will form its oxide and also liberate heat energy. In case of hydrocarbons, Carbon Dioxide, water and heat energy will be liberated and it is a must when writing the chemical equation.

No. Molecular oxygen is a reactant in a combustion reaction.
Oxygen.
There are two main types of combustion. These are complete, in which the reactant burns in oxygen producing a few reactions, such as carbon dioxide and water. Incomplete combustion occurs when there is not enough oxygen to complete a reaction.
O2
Combustion reactions always have O2 as a reactant. The other reactant is the thing being burned. If the thing being burned is a hydrocarbon, the products will be water and carbon dioxide.
Every combustion reaction we deal with produces gas with oxygen in the product, so O2 (oxygen gas) must be a reactant. For example, methane reacts with Oxygen in this way: CH4(l) + O2(g) -> C02(g)+2H2(g) Note O2 in gaseous form as a reactant.
Oxygen typically serves as a reactant in chemical reactions where it undergoes oxidation or combustion processes. It is involved in various reactions, such as cellular respiration, combustion of fuels, and rusting of metals.
