Metals all prefer to loose electrons (sodium -> Na+, Fe - > Fe3+ etc.) S they prefer to be oxidised (oxidation is electron loss).

Photosynthesis is a redox reaction. This means that H2O is BLANK during the light reactions and CO2 is BLANK during the Calvin cycle. a. consumed...reduced b. reduced...oxidized c. oxidized...reduced?

Photosynthesis is a redox reaction where water (H2O) is oxidized during the light reactions, leading to the release of oxygen as a byproduct. In the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide (CO2) is reduced to form carbohydrates with the help of ATP and NADPH produced during the light reactions. Therefore, the correct options are c. oxidized...reduced.

When metals react with acids is hydrogen always being reduced?

When metals react with acids, hydrogen ions (H⁺) from the acid are often reduced to form hydrogen gas (H₂). This process involves the transfer of electrons, where the metal is oxidized and the hydrogen ions are reduced. However, not all reactions with acids result in hydrogen gas production; some metals may not produce hydrogen in certain conditions. Therefore, while hydrogen is commonly reduced in reactions with many metals, it is not a universal rule for all metal-acid reactions.
