Chapter 14, Problem 2RQ

Summary Introduction

To review:

The process of combining redox couples for a metabolic reaction in bacteria that generates energy.

Introduction:

The reactions where loss of electrons or gain of oxygen occurs are known as oxidation reactions whereas reactions where gain of electrons or loss of oxygen occurs are termed as reduction reactions. The reactions where both oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously are known as redox reactions. Metabolic reactions include catabolic and anabolic reactions.
