What reaction is reduction?
In chemistry, reduction is considered the gaining of electrons. Oxidation is the lose of electrons. They go together in reactions called redox (reduction/oxidation). You cannot have a reduction without also having an oxidation.
Is the conversion of an alkene to an alkane a reduction or an oxidation?
The addition of hydrogen on alkenes produces the alkanes so it is a reduction process.
What is reduction in bio?
biological reduction is the addition of electrons(hydrogen atoms) to a molecule.it also increase the potential energy of the molecule
What do you mean by reduction in chemistry?
1. Removal of oxygen from a molecule. 2. Addition of hydrogen atoms. 3. Addition of electrons to atoms Example:Photosynthesis.
What are the steps of the winkler method in order?
Winkler Method is a classical method(titration method) for determine the dissolved oxygen(BOD).
What are oxidation and reduction reactions?
Oxidation can be generally loss of hydrogen, addition of oxygen or loss of electrons. Reduction can be generally addition of hydrogen, loss of oxygen or addition of electrons.
How can you tell if water is polluted?
Water pollution occurs when a body of water is adversely affected due to the addition of large amounts of materials to the water. When it is unfit for its intended use, water is considered polluted. Many causes of pollution including sewage and fertilizers contain nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates. In excess levels, nutrients over stimulate the growth of aquatic plants and algae. Excessive growth of these types of organisms consequently clogs our waterways, use up dissolved oxygen as they decompose, and block light to deeper waters.

What is the role of circulatory system in nutrients?
The circulatory system is responsible for absorbing nutrients from the digestive system. In addition, it works to carry these nutrients throughout the body.

The addition of an electron to an atom or molecule is called?
Reduction = addition of electrons. Generally negatively charged species is formed as a result

enriched
