Oxidization is when oxygen is added to an atom. When an electron is added, that is reduction, not oxidization because no oxygen was added.

Is nadh oxidized or reduced compared to nad plus?

NADH is reduced compared to NAD+ because it gains electrons and a hydrogen ion to form NADH during cellular respiration. In this process, NAD+ acts as an electron carrier that accepts electrons and a hydrogen ion from substrates being oxidized, converting it to NADH.


Is an electron donor an oxidized substrate?

yes it is oxidized substrate reduces itself and oxidize others


How does NAD plus get oxidized?

NAD+ gets oxidized by accepting electrons (and protons) during redox reactions. It is reduced to NADH when it accepts these electrons.


What is the Oxidized form of the most common electron carrier needed in both glycolysis and Krebs cycle?

The oxidized form of the most common electron carrier needed in both glycolysis and the Krebs cycle is NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). NAD+ accepts electrons during the oxidation of substrates and is converted to its reduced form, NADH, which then delivers the electrons to the electron transport chain for ATP production.


Electron capture by DPIP?

Electron capture by a dye like DPIP (2,6-Dichlorophenolindophenol) usually leads to a color change in the dye molecule. In this process, the dye molecule accepts an electron from a reducing agent, causing the dye to change from blue (oxidized form) to colorless (reduced form).


When elemental Lithium metal reacts with Elemental Bromine what is oxidized and what is reduced?

In this reaction, Lithium is oxidized to Lithium ions (Li+) and Bromine is reduced to Bromide ions (Br-). Oxidation occurs when an element loses electrons (in this case, Lithium loses an electron), while reduction occurs when an element gains electrons (Bromine gains an electron).


What molecules supply electrons to an electron transport chain?

Glucose. Glucose is oxidized and oxygen is reduced here.


Is Zn oxidized or reduced?

Oxidized.


If a neutral atom becomes positively charged has it been oxidized or reduced?

With the loss of electron a neutral atom becomes positive ion and loss of electron is known as oxidation.


When a compound donates electrons the compound becomes what?

if a neutral atom donates an electron it will gain a positive charge. This is due to electrons having a negative charge.


When a compound serves as an electron acceptor it is oxidized?

No gain of electron is reduction. An atom that gains electrons is reduced in a chemical reaction. OIL RIG; oxidation is loss, reduction is gain
