While many reactions involve oxygen, only combustion reactions require oxygen as a reactant.
An aerobic reaction requires oxygen to take place. Oxygen serves as the terminal electron acceptor in the electron transport chain during aerobic respiration, leading to the production of ATP. This process is efficient and produces more ATP compared to anaerobic reactions.
An obligate aerobe bacterium requires oxygen for its metabolism and survival.
Organisms which need oxygen are called aerobic organisms or aerobes. The oxygen is used in the process of respiration to release energy from food. Organisms which do not use oxygen in respiration are called anaerobic organisms or anaerobes. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobic_organism
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen; anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen.
One example of an ATP forming reaction that requires oxygen is oxidative phosphorylation, which occurs in the mitochondria. During this process, energy is produced by the electron transport chain as electrons are passed along proteins and ultimately combine with oxygen to form water. This creates a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis through ATP synthase.
The chemical reaction of oxygen with other substances is called oxidation.
A rapid reaction between oxygen and a fuel is called combustion.
The reaction of a metal with oxygen is called oxidation. This process can lead to the formation of metal oxides.
No. It is endothermic as it requires energy.
A reaction in which oxygen is removed from a compound is called a reduction reaction.
This reaction can be called "deoxidation" or "reduction".
An aerobic reaction requires oxygen to take place. Oxygen serves as the terminal electron acceptor in the electron transport chain during aerobic respiration, leading to the production of ATP. This process is efficient and produces more ATP compared to anaerobic reactions.
The reaction is called oxidation.
Burning is an oxidation reaction - a reaction with oxygen.
Oxidisation
Aerobic respiration is the metabolic reaction that requires oxygen and glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP. This process takes place in the mitochondria of cells and involves the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to generate ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
The formation of iron oxides is caused by chemical reaction of iron and oxygen. Note, it is not rusting; rusting also requires the presence of water.
