Answer:

Organic fuel molecules are 'oxidized 'during cellular respiration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Respiration, the oxidation of glucose and other molecules in food, is a redox process. In a series of reactions, glucose is oxidized and oxygen is reduced. The electrons lose potential energy along the way, and energy is released.
