A reducing agent loses electrons and is thereby oxidised.
D OXIDATION-REDUCTION REACTION
A nucleophile donates electrons in a chemical reaction by using its electron-rich atoms to form a bond with an electron-deficient atom or molecule. This donation of electrons helps to stabilize the resulting compound and drive the reaction forward.
Oxidized.Oxidation involves a loss of electrons.The answer above in a general context is wrong I'm afraid - If an atom loses an electron it becomes an ion and the same if it gains one - and electrically charged particle.
A molecule that can act as a pi-donor in a chemical reaction typically has a structure that allows it to donate electrons from its pi bonds. These molecules often have double bonds or aromatic rings that can share electron density with other molecules. This electron donation can facilitate the formation of new chemical bonds in reactions.
if in a reaction the leaving group of the substrate is electron dense , it is called nucleofuge. The ability of nucleofuge to leave the substrate in a reaction is called its nucleofugacity .
When a molecule gains an electron, it has been reduced.
The reactant that reduces another atom.

D OXIDATION-REDUCTION REACTION
Energy is transferred from pigment molecule to pigment molecule in the protein complex through resonance energy transfer, leading to excitation of a special chlorophyll a molecule called P680. This excitation of P680 causes the release of an electron, which is then transferred to the primary electron acceptor, initiating the electron transport chain in photosynthesis.
A molecule which donates electron(s) to an other, is called a reductor orreducing atom / moleculeExample:2Fe --> 2Fe2+ + 4 e- reductor Fe4 e- + O2 --> 2O2- oxidator O2-------------------------------------------- +2Fe + O2 --> 2FeO redox reaction, the corrosion of Iron by Oxygen (forming rust)

Electrons absorb the energy. Then it becomes exited
It comes from H20, the Oxygen molecule joins with another 0 molecule to form 02, the H+s enter the thylakoid space from the stroma
NADPH and ATP are produced by the light reactions. The ATP is a high energy molecule produced by photophosphorylation while the NADPH is produced at the end of the electron transport chain.
Oxidation is a reaction in which an atom, molecule or compound loses an electron. OIL = Oxidation Is Lost; RIG= Reduction Is Gain LEO = Lose Electron in Oxidation; GER = Gain Electron in Reduction (LEO the lion says GER) Hydrolysis is a reaction in which a molecule or compound is broken down, by the addition of a water molecule (it is NOT the breaking of a water molecule into oxygen and hydrogen - that is a different reaction called electrolysis). An example of hydrolysis is the breaking down of maltose into 2 glucose molecules. A molecule of water is added, usually with an acid to catalyse the reaction, into a solution of maltose. You can therefore say that hydrolysis is a type of oxidation reaction, being as maltose loses glucose molecule (hence losing the electrons in the atoms of glucose).
