Oxidation of water occurs wherever there is photosynthesis. Plants and organisms that perform photosynthesis take in water and other minerals and convert them to sugar, but the conversion to sugar creates a biproduct of free oxygen. This oxygen then oxidizes the water.
Oxidation occurs in warmer climates. So it could occur in a desert.
oxidation- the anode of a cell
reduction- the cathode of a cell
In plants: chloroplasts.
Oxidation takes place at anode and reduction at cathode - yes, it is correct.
These reactions are called redox reactions.Isolated reduction/oxidation is not possible.
Oxidation is characterized by the loss of electrons, and reduction is characterized by the gain of electrons. Since there must be an electron loser and an electron receiver, oxidation and reduction are always complimentary.
a reversible chemical reaction in which one reaction is an oxidation and the reverse is a reduction
Gain or electron means reduction energy is not gained but given off during this and also when oxidation takes place the same thing thing happens' energy is released when a redox reaction takes place(ie both oxidation & reduction)

An oxidation half-reaction
Oxidation takes place at the anode and reduction takes place at the cathode, so elemental metal will form at the cathode, and elemental metal will form into ions at the anode.
There are chemical handbooks and journals filled with examples of oxidation reduction reactions.
nope
a redox reaction
Reduction Half-Reaction: MnO4-(aq) → Mn2+(aq) Oxidation Half-Reaction: Cl-(aq) → Cl2(g)
oxidation is the taking away of an electron, while reduction is gaining and electron
a reversible chemical reaction in which one reaction is an oxidation and the reverse is a reduction
Because for oxidation to take place the electrons lost by the substance that is oxidized must be accepted by atoms or ions of another substance. Also, for reduction to occur the electrons gained by the substance that is being reduced must be transferred from the atoms of ions of another substance. Therefore, oxidation and reduction are complementary processes: that is to say that oxidation cannot occur without reduction and visa versus.
