Chris is studying oxidation and reduction reactions. Which of the following could she use as an example of an oxidation reaction?

This question lacks options, the options are as follows:

A. formation of ATP from glucose during respiration

B. formation of carbohydrates from carbon dioxide during photosynthesis

C. formation of oxygen from water molecules during photosynthesis

The answer is A. formation of ATP from glucose during respiration

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is a type of reaction that involves the loss of electrons (e-) by a compound or molecule. The compound/molecule that loses the electron is said to be OXIDIZED.

According to this question, Chris is studying oxidation and reduction reactions (redox). An example of oxidation reaction she could use is FORMATION OF ATP FROM GLUCOSE DURING RESPIRATION. Glucose (C6H12O6) undergoes series of oxidation reactions in glycolysis, Krebs cycle and ETC, as it loses electrons to eventually produce energy (ATP).

the most common energy conversion is from kinetic energy to potential energy, and then from potential energy to kinetic energy.

later on comes the heat energy, mechanical energy, and other energy conversions.

this energy conversion is so common that we can find it in our day to day lives as well.

- one of the most common energy conversions involves the changing of potential energy to kinetic energy or kinetic energy to potential energy
