The pyruvate is initially broken down into CO2 and acetate. One carbon goes to CO2 and two go to the acetate which then combines with coenzyme A to form acetyl coA.
Well it has less electrons than it had before. That is the definition of oxidation. The loss of electrons is oxidation. The gain of electrons is reduction.
Water is made in the electron transport chain. The reason why is because of oxygen. In cellular respiration, oxygen is at the end of the electron chain to pick up electrons and hydrogen ions, which then forms water (H2O). Hope this helps!

A reduced compound is a compound that has gained one or more electrons, resulting in a negative charge. This reduction process typically occurs during a redox reaction, where one compound loses electrons (oxidation) and another gains electrons (reduction). Reduced compounds are often considered to be in a lower energy state compared to their oxidized forms.
If the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide is lost in nature, it can lead to negative impacts such as reduced oxygen levels for living organisms, changes in climate due to increased greenhouse gases, and disruptions to ecosystems and biodiversity. This imbalance can ultimately threaten the overall health and functioning of the planet.
In the decarboxylation of Pyruvate to form Acetyl CoA, one Carbon atom is lost as co2. Acetyl CoA can then be used in the citric acid cycle in which another two co2 molecules are produced. It is important to note however, that neither Pyruvate nor Acetyl CoA will necessarily follow this pathway, since they are also required for various other processes.
Oxidation is a loss of electrons. Mg2+ has lost two electrons from it's elemental state, and is thus said to be oxidised.
The element has lost one or more electrons in a reaction.
Sodium (Na) is oxidized in the reaction to form sodium bromide (NaBr). In this reaction, sodium goes from an oxidation state of 0 to +1, indicating that it has lost an electron and been oxidized.
No, an oxidized molecule has already lost electrons and is in a lower energy state. In order to gain energy, a molecule would need to be reduced by gaining electrons.
When wood burns, essentially organic molecules within the wood is oxidized into carbon dioxide, among other oxidized carbon forms. The various oxidized carbon forms are mainly gases and is released into the atmosphere. Because after the wood is burned out, the majority of the organic material has been converted into the gases, much of the wood's mass is lost.
A cation is a positively charged ion, meaning it has lost electrons. In the case of a 1+ charge on a carbon cation, it would have 5 electrons (neutral Carbon has 6 electrons).
Oxidation is the loss of electrons. Reduction is the gain of electrons. The oxidizing agent is reduced. The reducing agent is oxidized. Cu goes from 0 to +2, it lost electrons S went from +6 to +4, it gained electrons I went from 0 to +5, it lost electrons N went from +5 to +4, it gained electrons.
A compound is oxidized when it loses electrons during a chemical reaction. This typically involves the addition of oxygen or the loss of hydrogen atoms. Oxidation can result in a change in the oxidation state of the compound and often leads to the formation of more highly oxidized products.
If an element has gained electrons, it has been reduced. If an element has lost electrons, it has been oxidized. This can be determined by comparing the oxidation state of the element before and after the reaction.
you would die cause ya need carbon to do everything we all are made up of carbon! :!: :o)
There will be difference in value of fixed carbon and carbon in ultimate analysis as some carbon is lost in hydrocarbons in volatile matter. Fixed carbon is arrived by substracting the volatile matter. Utimate analysis ditermines the total carbon content which includes the carbon present in volatile matter. Fixed carbon is useful to know how much coke can be generated out of coking coal.
