The electrons stripped from glucose in cellular respiration end up in compound water by the reduction of oxygen.

Explanation:

During electron transport chain electrons are donated by various reducing equivalents such as NADH, FADH2. The donated electrons then moves through various electron carriers.

During electron transport chain oxygen (O2) act as terminal electron acceptor which accept the electron from complex 4 and thereby get reduced to form water. (H2O).
