The type of chemical reaction required for electrons to flow from one molecule to the next and provide energy for metabolism is a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction. In this reaction, one molecule acts as a reducing agent, donating electrons, while the other molecule acts as an oxidizing agent, accepting the electrons. This transfer of electrons generates energy that can be used by the body for various metabolic processes.

Is protein a chemical reaction?
Proteins are chemical compounds, not reactions.
What a pigment molecule that transfers electrons during light reaction?
The chlorophyll molecule.
Is a molecule a substance that a chemical reaction can't break down?
A chemical reaction can't break down an element, but it can break down a molecule.
What type of chemical reaction occurs when electrons are shared?
no chemical reaction takes place . when electrons are shared it is known as covalent bond
Which represents the collection of chemical reaction that occur in the cell?
its metabolism
A chemical reaction in which a molecule gains electrons and energy?
4 down, Reduction.
Is protein a chemical reaction?
Proteins are chemical compounds, not reactions.
What kind of reaction is metabolism?
A chemical reaction.
What is the chemical reaction where molecule is broken apart?
This is a chemical decomposition reaction.
What is gained in a chemical reaction?
Electrons are the ones gained or lost in a chemical reaction. Electrons are gained in oxidation and lost through the chemical reaction known as reduction.
What a pigment molecule that transfers electrons during light reaction?
The chlorophyll molecule.
Is a molecule a substance that a chemical reaction can't break down?
A chemical reaction can't break down an element, but it can break down a molecule.
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
What type of chemical reaction occurs when electrons are shared?
no chemical reaction takes place . when electrons are shared it is known as covalent bond
What is a molecule in a chemical reaction?
A molecule is two or more atoms held together by a covalent bond (like H2O). I don't think it matters if it's in a chemical reaction or not, a molecule is a molecule. On a side note, atoms held together by ionic bonds (electrons are transferred from one atom to another) do not get classified with the title molecule, but are simply called ionic compounds (NaCl or table salt is an example).
Which represents the collection of chemical reaction that occur in the cell?
its metabolism
What is the total chemical reaction inside of your body called?
Metabolism.
