Document Summary

Bsc 101 lecture 11 cellular respiration. C6h12o6 + 6o2 6co2 + 6h20 + energy (atp + heat) Ex: na + cl na+ + cl: na becomes oxidized as it loses an electron, cl becomes reduced as it gains an electron, chemists definition of redox reaction refers to molecules losing or gaining electrons. Reduction: oil rig: oxidation is losing, reduction is gaining, leo says ger: losing electrons is oxidation, gain of electrons is. In addition, biologists use this concept with respect to molecules losing or gaining hydrogen atoms: reducing agent: the electron (or h atom) donor; oxidized, oxidizing agent: the electron (or h atom) receptor or receiver; reduced. Oxidation of organic fuel molecules during cellular respiration: during cellular respiration, the fuel (such as glucose) is oxidized, and o2 is reduced. C6h12o6 + 6o2 6co2 + 6h2o + energy: glucose is the reducing agent, it is oxidized or undergoing oxidation, oxygen is the oxidizing agent, it is reduced or undergoing reduction.
