Describe the journey of a single carbon atom from glucose in cellular respiration

Glucose moves into the cell via a protein (glucose is hydrophilic) The chain of carbons are broken from glucose in glycolysis, this takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. The carbons form pyruvate, a carbon rich molecule. The pyruvate moves into the mitochondrial matrix, where it undergoes change in the Krebs cycle. The pyruvate will eventually be broken down and released as CO2.
