For oxidation to proceed at body temperature, a catalyst must promote the reaction. In living systems, complex molecules, called enzymes, provide this function.
The oxidation of pyruvic acid into CO2, water and energy is called the Krebs cycle.
This cycle is also citric acid cycle because the cycle begins with the formation of citric acid. Citric acid is a carboxylic acid containing 3 COOH groups. Hence this cycle is also called as tricarboxylic acid cycle or TCA cycle. This cycle occurs only in the presence of oxygen. Hence it is an aerobic process. It takes place in the mitochondria of the cell..

What is the process causing rocks to change composition when reacting with oxygen?
oxidation
What is exothermic oxidation?
exothermic oxidation, is where a molecule loses an electron(s), and releases heat energy in the process
Oxygen weathers rock through a process called?
Oxidation
What process take place when a substance combines with oxygen?
Combustion, burning, or oxidation all refer to this process (some more precisely than others -- for instance oxidation can include other things than oxygen). Combustion is generally the commonly used technical term.
Is alcohol an oxidizer?
No, fire is a process of oxidation-reduction.
Can oxidation stop the rotting process?

How does lemon preserves food?
The acidity slows down the process of oxidation The acidity slows down the process of oxidation The acidity slows down the process of oxidation
Can combination reaction be oxidation reaction Explain?
No
What is removed in oxidation?
Oxidation is the process of adding oxygen or taking away hydrogen.
Can you explain what Anti Oxidants are?
First and foremost, oxidation is a chemical process that occurs in the human body but can be heightened by stress, smoking, and alcohol. Antioxidants help to fight that disruption.
What is the process rusting called?
Oxidation
Is rust a process?
No, it is the result of a process scientifically known as oxidation.
What is the process causing rocks to change composition when reacting with oxygen?
oxidation
What is the process of burning something?
This process is called cellular respiration and is an oxidation.
Explain the thought process you used to figure out the formula for aluminum chloride?
Al has and oxidation number of +3, Cl has an oxidation number of -1. For the molecule to be neutral these umber must cancel, therefore there is 3 Cl of every 1 Al. Making the formula. AlCl3
What is the final oxidation numbers of gold and zinc after the cyanide process?
the oxidation number is from 0 to 3+
Hematite can form as a result of the process of oxidation?
Yes Hematite is an oxide of iron and is formed by its oxidation.
