Document Summary

When a molecule donates an electron, it is oxidized. When a molecule accepts an electron, it is reduced (i. e. the charge of the molecule is reduced): look at the equation for cellular respiration here and on bottom of page 164. Explain why the wrong answers are wrong. reactants. 6 co2 + 6 h2o + atp a. sugar is oxidized to carbon dioxide b. oxygen is oxidized to water: sugar is reduced to carbon dioxide d. carbon dioxide is reduced to sugar. The electrons that are essential for cellular respiration come from the hydrogens. Molecules with potential to donate many electrons (i. e. hydrogens) are referred to as. A is correct because carbon from co2 partially loss electron compares to glucose since o is electronegative that it takes away electron from. B is wrong because oxygen is reduced since oxygen gain partially gains electron compare to oxygen molecule.
