Description
Bioenergetics: Biological Oxidation Reduction
- Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions involve the loss of electrons by one chemical species, which is thereby oxidized, and the gain of electrons by another, which is reduced.
- The flow of electrons in redox reactions is responsible for all work done by living organisms.
- Source of electrons: in non-photosynthetic organisms: reduced compounds (foods)
