Can a photon be oxidized by an electron from the valence shell of a molecule?
Photons are not oxidized. They are energy. A photon may be captured by an atom or molecule resulting in a change to the state of atoms.
How molecule works during heat conduction?
when molecules are heated they gain energy and move faster. Therefore, colliding more frequently with other molecules and transferring kinetic energy to other molecules
For carbohydrates to be oxidized or burned for energy they must first be broken down to what?
monosaccharides
Why is gasoline a chemical energy?
Gasoline is a combination of several hydrocarbons which when oxidized (chemical reaction) release heat energy.
What molecule is oxidized and what kind of bond is formed when gaseous hydrogen burns in the presence of oxygen to form water?
hydrogen, polar
Can a photon be oxidized by an electron from the valence shell of a molecule?
Photons are not oxidized. They are energy. A photon may be captured by an atom or molecule resulting in a change to the state of atoms.
What loses energy?
Oxidation occurs when a molecule loses an electron or increases its oxidation state when a molecule is oxidized it loses energy.
Would a fully oxidized or fully reduced molecule be a better cellular energy source?
reduced
When a glucose molecule loses a hydrogen atom as the result of an oxidation-reduction reaction the molecule becomes?
oxidized
How is energy stored in respiration?
Chemical energy is stored in form of bonds
When a molecule loses an electron the molecule has been?
When a molecule loses an electron the molecule has been ionized and oxidized.
If a molecule of ATP is oxidized becomes?
ADP
What does a molecule that has been oxidized have?
Well it has less electrons than it had before. That is the definition of oxidation. The loss of electrons is oxidation. The gain of electrons is reduction.
Which form of DCPIP reduced or oxidized is higher in energy?
DCPIP oxidized is higher in energy
Reactions in which electrons are transferred between atoms?
This is called a redox reaction, where one molecule gains electrons and one molecule loses electrons. Reduction is the gain of electrons and oxidation the gain of electrons. It can be remembered as OILRIG (Oxidation Is Loss Reduction Is Gain).
When a molecule of glucose is completely oxidized its six carbon atoms are changed into what?
Carbon atoms from a complex organic food molecule, such as glucose, are completely oxidized at the end of its reaction chain. Carbon dioxide is the waste that is released as a result of this reaction.
Is glucose an electron?
When cell oxidize glucose molecule is 'not' a chemical oxidation, in which sudden energy is released. This is called as 'biological oxidation'. In which energy is released in step wise manner. So you get 38 ATP molecules/glucose molecule oxidized and proportion of heat is released to keep the cell warm.
