The biological and physical chemical application of oxidation and reduction include contaminant reduction and mineralization of organic matter.
Together the chemical reactions are called as biological oxidation. There are some reactions of reduction and some reactions are of oxidation. But the sum total of the reaction is oxidation. This is true for the animal kingdom as a whole. The reverse is true for the plant kingdom. There are some reactions of reduction and some reactions are of oxidation.There the biological reduction dominates. The sum total is biological reduction. Plants synthesize the food and animals use the food for various metabolic activities.
Reduction is a chemical process.
Selenate can be converted to selenium through a reduction process. This reduction can be achieved through biological means, using bacteria or other microorganisms that are capable of reducing selenate to elemental selenium. Alternatively, a chemical reducing agent such as sodium sulfite or sodium borohydride can be used to convert selenate to selenium.
Reduction can involve both physical and chemical changes. In a chemical sense, reduction involves gaining electrons to form a lower oxidation state. In a physical sense, reduction can refer to the process of decreasing the size or amount of a substance.
Oxidation and reduction are chemical properties. Electrolysis is a chemical process, not a property.

In case of plants, there is biological reduction. Carbon bi oxide and water is converted to glucose. Energy from sunlight is trapped in the form of ATP in chlorophyl. This ATP is used to in biological reduction. Energy consumed in biological reduction is same photon by photon, to energy released during biological or chemical oxidation. ( Law of conservation of energy in chemical reactions.)

Reduction Is Gain of electrons
When oxygen is taken from a substance, it undergoes a process called reduction where it gains electrons. This results in the formation of new products, such as water or carbon dioxide, depending on the substance being oxidized. This process is essential for various biological and chemical reactions in nature.
An enzyme is the biological catalyst that speeds up chemical reactions.
