Two.
Pull the plug on a cylinder and put your thumb over it, then crank the engine over.
Suction occurs on the intake stroke even though the intake valve is open. The air fuel mixture is displacing the space left by the very sudden violently ever increasing size of the void created on the intake stroke.
The mixture doesn't just "drift" into the cylinder from atmospheric pressure.
