What is the process of electron gain called?

The process of electron gain is called reduction. For example, if Br gains an electron, its oxidation number is reduced from 0 to -1, and will be written as Br-. The opposite of this (electron loss) would be called oxidation, or ionization.


Sunlight excites electrons in the chlorophyll during the what?

Sunlight excites electrons in chlorophyll during the process of photosynthesis, where they are used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This excitation of electrons is a key step in converting light energy into chemical energy that the plant can use for growth and metabolism.

What is the difference between NADH and NAD in terms of their roles in cellular metabolism?

NADH is a reduced form of NAD and carries electrons during cellular respiration to produce energy. NAD acts as an electron carrier in metabolic reactions, accepting electrons to become NADH.


Molecules that furnish electrons during a chemical reaction are called?

Molecules that furnish electrons during a chemical reaction are called reducing agents or electron donors. These molecules undergo oxidation as they donate electrons to another molecule, known as the oxidizing agent or electron acceptor.
