"Oxygen is used to split glucose molecules, releasing energy."
Explanation: In aerobic respiration oxygen is required to accept electrons at the end of the electron transport chain, which allows glucose to be fully oxidized and much more ATP to be produced than in anaerobic respiration. (The precise mechanism is not literal "splitting" of glucose; oxygen's role is as the final electron acceptor, forming water.)
