What do metals do when they combine with non metals like oxygen?
oxidation takes place (rusting)
What happens when nutrients and oxygen combine inside your cell?
Oxidation of nutrients takes place to release energy in our cells. This is called respiration.
Do sparks need oxygen?
Sparks are rapid oxidation. Oxygen is required for oxidation to take place.
Does oxygen have to be present for an oxidation-reduction reaction to take place?
nope
What are similarities between cellular respiration and respiration?
To tell you the truth they are not similar at all. They have nothing to do with each other. I guess the way they work secrete or take in can be compared but they are different processes. Cellular respiration is when we humans take in oxygen and glucose(food). We use the glucose to carry out many of cell activities which is transferred through our blood and dilivered to our cells. Glucose is then converted to ATP energy by the mitochondria(mitochondria plural). ATP is the cells source of energy. The role that oxygen plays is the combination of oxygen(o2) and glucose which makes water(h2o) which is also used by our cells. A waste would be the carbon dioxide made which is excreted and used by plants for photosynthesis. I guess the thing that might relate would be that to get the oxygen, you need your resperatory system.
Where does the reaction between glucose oxygen take place?
The reaction between glucose and oxygen is not spontaneous. This can be demonstrated by a container of glucose sitting on a shelf, not oxidizing.
Does removing oxygen always prevent an oxidation reaction?
Oxidation reactions just involve a transfer of electrons, the only reason it's called oxidation is because oxygen is commonly used in those reactions. There are lots of reduction and oxidation reactions that occur without oxygen.
What other substance is needed for respiration to take place?
glucose and oxygen
What are the substances released when oxidation takes place in the cell?
water, carbon dioxide and oxygen
What happens when gain of oxygen takes place?
A loss of electrons occur, an oxidation reaction.
What takes place when minerals in rocks combine with air and chemical weathering?
The oxygen in the air combines with the minerals and the rocks change because the minerals are oxidizing. Oxidation can cause new chemical compounds such as iron oxide to form in the rocks.
Is oxygen required for the stage of respiration that takes place in the mitochondria?
yes it is. oxygen and glucose are both required.
