Oxidation is the revolution of electrons. Oxygen electrons that are allowed to move freely create a condition of free radicals. These free radicals react in such a way that they have a physical effect on electrons of the objects they come in contact with. Causing a shift or movement of loose electrons
In some materials it creates an accumulation in others decay.
Free radicals in cells causes cell decay.

A cell oxidation occurs inside in a Hem protein made up of four different polypeptide globin chains that contain between 141 and 146 amino acids called Hemoglobin, inside of this hem protein there is a hem that contains an Iron ion responsible for many functions and one of them will be the transportation of diatomic gases. In another words it carries Oxygen atoms within to where it is required in a life form. In order to properly transfer oxygen thru the body, Iron Ions need to oxidize at level 2 which means carry only two atoms of oxygen. If the Iron Ion oxidize let's say to a higher level it will not let go the oxygen atoms; therefore, it doesn't transport oxygen like it suppose to, there is no oxidation. Research must be done very carefully and thoroughly, since it involves many micro organisms and many functions. This is just a quick answer to the question. And all thought I am not a doctor or a biologist, I study many form of science which I have confronted the same question during my investigations before.
Oxidation can be bad because it can lead to the deterioration of materials, such as metal rusting or food spoiling. In the body, oxidation can also damage cells and contribute to the aging process and development of diseases.
Oxidation is important in the human body because it is a key process involved in producing energy from food. It helps break down nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to generate ATP, the body's main energy source. However, excessive oxidation can also lead to the production of free radicals, which can damage cells and contribute to aging and disease.
The oxidation state of chloride (Cl) is -1. As a halogen, chloride is usually found with an oxidation state of -1 in most compounds.
In Mg2P2O7, magnesium (Mg) has an oxidation state of +2, phosphorus (P) has an oxidation state of +5, and oxygen (O) has an oxidation state of -2. The sum of the oxidation states for each element in the compound must equal zero due to its neutrality.
The oxidation state of carbon in methanol (CH3OH) is +2. This is because oxygen has an oxidation state of -2 and hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1, so the carbon must have an oxidation state of +2 to balance the charges in the molecule.
in the cathode
Any form of oxidation using galvanic cells does not require water
oxidation and respiration
One common oxidation reaction in the body is the oxidation of glucose during cellular respiration, which produces carbon dioxide and water while releasing energy in the form of ATP. This process occurs in the mitochondria of cells and is essential for supplying energy to the body.

Through oxidation of food by respiration
yes! vitamin E protects all the cells' lipids and related compounds like vitamin A from oxidation
Oxidation can be bad because it can lead to the deterioration of materials, such as metal rusting or food spoiling. In the body, oxidation can also damage cells and contribute to the aging process and development of diseases.
Redox or oxidation-reduction reactions.
reduction happens at the cathode Oxidation happens at the anode
Oxidation to pyruvate via gluconeogenesis
The process by which nutrients and oxygen are oxidized in cells is cellular respiration. It involves the oxidation of nutrients usually by oxygen.
