A molecule gives up an electron to another molecule which snaps it up is referring to A illustration of entropy B metabolic pathway C electron transfer chain D oxidation-reduction reaction?
D OXIDATION-REDUCTION REACTION
Do the energized electrons at the primary electron acceptor flow to the reaction center?
No, the electrons flow from the reaction center to the primary electron center. Just the opposite of what you said.
What is a addition reaction?
An addition reaction is when 1 molecule combines with another molecule and becomes 1 bigger molecule. There are no other products in this process; just the 2 molecules.
Electron transport chain?
An electron transport chain (ETC) couples a reaction between an electron donor (such as NADH) and an electron acceptor (such as O2
What molecule is catalase breaking down in this reaction?
H2o2
A molecule that gives up an electron to another molecule which snaps it up must be referring to?
oxidation-reduction reaction
When a molecule gains an electron it has been what?
This is a reduction reaction.
In a protein complex for the light reaction why is energy transferred from pigment molecule to pigment molecule to a special chlorophyll a molecule and eventually to the primary electron acceptor?
The molecular environment lets it boost an electron to a higher energy level and also to transfer the electron to another molecule
The molecule that functions as the reducing agent in a oxidation-reduction reaction?
The reactant that reduces another atom.

What is the role of the plastocyanin?
Plastocyanin is the electron carrier molecule in the light-dependent reaction in photosynthesis.
What is the difference between oxidation and hydrolysis?
Oxidation is a reaction in which an atom, molecule or compound loses an electron. OIL = Oxidation Is Lost; RIG= Reduction Is Gain LEO = Lose Electron in Oxidation; GER = Gain Electron in Reduction (LEO the lion says GER) Hydrolysis is a reaction in which a molecule or compound is broken down, by the addition of a water molecule (it is NOT the breaking of a water molecule into oxygen and hydrogen - that is a different reaction called electrolysis). An example of hydrolysis is the breaking down of maltose into 2 glucose molecules. A molecule of water is added, usually with an acid to catalyse the reaction, into a solution of maltose. You can therefore say that hydrolysis is a type of oxidation reaction, being as maltose loses glucose molecule (hence losing the electrons in the atoms of glucose).
What is the difference between oxidation and dehydrogenation agents?
Dehydrogenation is a type of oxidation reaction which involves the removal of an hydrogen atom(H) from a molecule or compound. Oxidation reaction in chemistry is simply the removal of an electron from an atom, molecule or compound. A substance that is oxidised loses an electron. There are a lot of different reactions that are oxidation reactions, dehydrogenation is just one example of an oxidation reaction.
When the energy of sunlight moves to a chlorophyll molecule in a reaction center how does this impact an electron?
Electrons absorb the energy. Then it becomes exited
When the reaction center for photosystem II loses and electron how is the electron replaced?
It comes from H20, the Oxygen molecule joins with another 0 molecule to form 02, the H+s enter the thylakoid space from the stroma
Which high-energy molecule and electron carrier are produced by the light reaction of photosynthesis?
NADPH and ATP are produced by the light reactions. The ATP is a high energy molecule produced by photophosphorylation while the NADPH is produced at the end of the electron transport chain.
What happens during a reduction/oxidation reaction?
An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron
