A hydrogen atom is transferred to the atom that loses an electron.
an oxidation and reduction reaction.
Most biochemical reactions in the body occur within cells, specifically in the cytoplasm and organelles such as the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. These reactions are essential for processes like metabolism, energy production, and synthesis of molecules needed for cellular function.
Plants, fungi, and animals are all eukaryotes and possess mitochondria, which is the site of the electron transport chain. Prokaryotes have no mitochondria and perform the electron transport chain across their cell membranes. Electron transport chain also occurs in thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts.
Examples of reactions (RXN) include combustion (e.g., burning of wood), synthesis (e.g., formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen), decomposition (e.g., electrolysis of water), and redox reactions (e.g., rusting of iron).
Most chemical reactions take place in the cytoplasm.
a chemical reaction in which a reactant loses one or more electrons, becoming more positive in charge!!!
an oxidation and reduction reaction.
Photophosphorylation is most similar to oxidative phosphorylation in that it involves the production of ATP through a series of redox reactions that generate a proton gradient across a membrane. However, in photophosphorylation, the energy for driving the process is derived from light instead of the oxidation of organic molecules.
Electron transport chain reactions
The electron transport chain during aerobic respiration produces the most ATP, generating up to 34 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose. This process occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane and involves a series of redox reactions that drive ATP synthesis.
These organelles are called mitochronrion.
No, there are other types of chemical reactions besides oxidation-reduction (or redox) reactions. For example, there are polymerization reactions. Dissociation can be the reversal of an oxidation reduction reaction, most often caused by heat, although there are other ways to make molecules dissociate. Electricity can be used to force chemicals to react in certain ways that have nothing to do with oxidation reduction. Some reactions are driven by entropy rather than by oxidation reduction. Systems tend toward a more random state.

The most important thing to consider is the number of electrons being transferred. Of course one also must consider the mass on each side of the equation.
The mitochondria is the organelle responsible for generating most of a cell's ATP energy through cellular respiration. It produces ATP through a series of reactions known as the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
Plants, fungi, and animals are all eukaryotes and possess mitochondria, which is the site of the electron transport chain. Prokaryotes have no mitochondria and perform the electron transport chain across their cell membranes. Electron transport chain also occurs in thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts.
Yes; at the most basic cellular level, the reactions photosynthesis and cellular respiration both occur during times of light; the former utilizing the sun's energy and the latter as part of the metabolic process of organisms that convert nutrients to ATP.
