Oxidization is when oxygen is added to an atom. When an electron is added, that is reduction, not oxidization because no oxygen was added.

How much is Canada pension benefits reduced if received before age 65?
Canada Pension Plan benefits are reduced by 0.6% for each month before age 65 that the pension is taken. This can result in a maximum reduction of 36% if benefits are taken at age 60.
As you age your physical functioning deteriorates This is most likely due to reduced efficiency in basic cellular processes One cause of this is thought to be?
Senescence
What phase of the Mesocycle is chacterized by high levels of intensity and reduced volumes of work?
The intensification phase of the mesocycle is typically characterized by higher levels of intensity and reduced volumes of work. This phase focuses on pushing the body to adapt to higher loads and stress levels to improve performance in specific areas. It is often used to optimize performance before transitioning into a deload or recovery phase.
What is reaction that can be reduced due to lung damage?
One reaction that can be reduced due to lung damage is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli. Lung damage can impair the ability of the alveoli to efficiently transfer oxygen from inhaled air into the bloodstream and remove carbon dioxide from the bloodstream to be exhaled, leading to compromised respiratory function.
Are NAD and FAD oxidized or reduced during Krebs?
NAD and FAD are reduced in the Krebs cycle and oxidised in the electron transport chain.
What molecules supply electrons to an electron transport chain?
Glucose. Glucose is oxidized and oxygen is reduced here.
What is a reduced compound?
A reduced compound is a compound that came into contact with another chemical, experienced a chemical reaction, and lost an electron in the reaction. Reduced compounds are often oxidized.
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
Is Zn oxidized or reduced?
Oxidized.
What happens as the electrons are passed along the electron carries in the electron transport chain?
Hydrogen ions are pumped across the mitochondria's inner membrane producing a concentration gradient
If a neutral atom becomes positively charged has it been oxidized or reduced?
With the loss of electron a neutral atom becomes positive ion and loss of electron is known as oxidation.
When a compound serves as an electron acceptor it is oxidized?
No gain of electron is reduction. An atom that gains electrons is reduced in a chemical reaction. OIL RIG; oxidation is loss, reduction is gain
Is glucose oxidized or reduced in cellular respiration?
Oxidized.
Is nadh oxidized or reduced compared to nad plus?
NAD+ is the oxidized and NADH is the reduced form.
