The reactions of oxygen are called oxydations.
No, oxygen is an oxidiser, combustion reactions are oxygen reduction reactions.
Reduction reactions or deoxygenation reactions are processes in which oxygen is removed from a molecule or compound.
Glucose and Oxygen
Oxygen can take part in a variety of reactions, such as combustion (burning), oxidation reactions, and reactions in biological processes like respiration. It is a highly reactive element that readily participates in chemical reactions.
The light reactions of photosynthesis require oxygen as a raw material to produce ATP and NADPH. The dark reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis do not directly require oxygen as a raw material, but they use the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions. Both light and dark reactions are involved in photosynthesis, but only the light reactions require oxygen as a raw material.
Anaerobic reactions happen in the cytoplasm of a cell, Aerobic reactions occur in the mitochondria of a cell Anaerobic reactions do not require oxygen, Aerobic reactions do require oxygen
Oxygen is not a special element 'needed' in so many reactions, though it is:quite commonquite reactivebut carbon and hydrogen are probaly more common in more reactions than oxygen is.
Combustion reactions involve the rapid combination of a substance with oxygen, resulting in the release of energy in the form of heat and light. During combustion, the substance being oxidized loses electrons, which is characteristic of oxidation reactions. Therefore, combustion reactions are considered oxidation reactions because they involve the transfer of electrons to oxygen.
While many reactions involve oxygen, only combustion reactions require oxygen as a reactant.
In the light reactions of photosynthesis, oxygen is released as a byproduct. Oxygen is not directly involved in the dark reactions (Calvin cycle), which utilize ATP and NADPH produced during the light reactions to convert carbon dioxide into sugars.
Oxygen undergoes fusion reactions in the cores of massive stars, where it can fuse into heavier elements. Oxygen does not undergo fission reactions naturally.
Oxygen is produced during the light reactions of photosynthesis when water molecules are split by the photosystem II complex. This process releases oxygen as a byproduct.
