What does the term reduced mean in a chemical reaction?
When iron reacts with oxygen, the steel is oxidized, the oxygen is reduced.
What is the term used to describe organisms that capture solar energy and release oxygen?
hetertrophs
Which macromolecules can be used for short term energy?
Carbohydrates.
What kind of chemical reaction is the burning of magnesium in oxygen?
it is the oxidation of Magnesium into Magnesium oxide which appears as a white powder.That is classified as a redox reaction, a term which is a contraction of reduction-oxidation. The magnesium is oxidized and the oxygen is reduced. The terms refer to the transfer of electrons. Electrons have a negative charge, so a recipient of electrons, such as oxygen is reduced in the sense that its charge becomes negative.
What happens to carbon in the short term carbon cycle?
In the short-term cycle, plants convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates. Organisms eat the plants and obtain carbon, and then release it back into the air as carbon dioxide. Carbon is also released through wastes and decay of their remains.
What is the term for when something is burned using oxygen?
A Combustion Reaction
When large carbohydrates molecules are formed from smaller carbohydrate molecules water is lost what is this reaction called?
The general term is "condensation reaction." "Dehydration reaction" is also appropriate.

What is the term used to describe organisms that capture solar energy and release oxygen?
hetertrophs
The reaction of a metal with oxygen to form rust is called?
Metal Oxide is the general term for reaction with oxygen. Rust is usually a specific referral to Iron Oxide Fe2O3. This process is called oxidation.
What is the scientific term for the production of light by living organisms?
Bioluminesence is the result of a chemical reaction in which living organisms produce and emit light. During this chemical reaction, chemical energy is converted into light energy, which is then given off by organisms.
Sunlight to carbohydrates is what type of change?
Its the long term carbohydrates.
Which macromolecules can be used for short term energy?
Carbohydrates.
Is a calorie another term for carbohydrates?
no it is not another term
Where does the term carbohydrate come from?
Carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, all in a constant 1:2:1 ratio. Hence the name Carbo (carbon) hydra (hydrogen) and the ending 'ate' refers to oxygen.
