Would the formation of ATP molecules from glucose oxidation be an example of energy transformation or conversion?

Yes. It is a good example of energy transformation or conversion. In this energy stored in glucose molecule is released in small pockets. And stored in 38 ATP molecules. Here ADP molecule get converted into ATP molecule. When energy is required, ATP molecule is reconverted into ADP molecule.

Why is the formation of chlorine classified as oxidation?
The formation of chlorine from chloride ions invoves loss of electrons there fore it is "oxidation" which is defined as loss of electrons. OIL RIG oxidation is loss, reduction is gain.
Why do lipids release more energy than carbohydrates?
The amount of energy released by any biomolecules is determined by how many ATP molecules are generated after the oxidation of that biomolecule, because the energy released during oxidation is saved in the form of ATP molecules. A glucose molecule on oxidation yields total 38 molecules of ATP that are formed after glycolysis, TCA Cycle and ETS. The number of carbon atoms in glucose is 6. Now consider a 6 Carbon Fatty acid molecule. It will undergo two beta oxidation cycles and will yield 3 Acetyl CoA molecules. Now, in each step of beta oxidation one NAD molecule is converted into NADH and H+ and one FAD molecule is reduced in FADH2. When these NADH and FADH2 molecules release their electrons in the Electron Transport Chain, they together cause the formation of 4 ATP molecules. Thus each step of beta oxidation will lead to formation of 4 ATP molecules. Thus if there are two steps of beta oxidation then there are 8 molecules of ATP. Now the three Acetyl CoA molecules formed also enter the TCA cycle and each cycle will lead to generation of 30 more ATP molecules. Thus, totally, 38 ATP molecules are formed. The number of ATPs formed, goes on increasing as the number of carbons in the fatty acid molecules is increased.
What do you understand by partial oxidation of alcohol?
The partial oxidation of alcohol means conversion of alcohols to aldehydes
Is oxidation a reaction between iron water and oxygen?
No. Oxidation is the loss of electrons by an atom, or equivalently an increase in the oxidation number of that atom. Rust formation is one example of oxidation.
What is the oxidation number for sulfur only?
There are s8 sulfur molecules. It shows 0 oxidation number.
What reaction is formed when rusting appears?
Iron oxidation (transformation of iron in iron oxides)
Where do chemosynthetic get there energy?
The oxidation of inorganic molecules or methane.
Why is the conversion of ethanol to ethnoic acid an oxidation reaction?
* To be an oxidation reaction electrons have to be lost. * Any reaction that results in electrons being lost can be described as an oxidation reaction.
What are oxidation-reaction reactions do?
In an oxidation reaction there is addition of oxygen molecules or removal of hydrogen molecules from a compound and loss of electrons from an atom / ion . example - S + O2 = SO2
Is formation of patina a chemical change?
Essentially, patina is oxidation-- rust.
What is the difference of oxidation and oxygenation?
Oxidation is loss of electrons to more elctronegative group where as oxygenation is carrying of oxygen molecules
Is hydrogen molecules to hydrogen ions an example of reduction?
No. It is oxidation.
