Oxidization [BEST]

When an apple turns brown after being sliced, it is reacting with the oxygen in the air—a process known as enzymatic browning. Oxidizing vs. Reducing Agents In a redox reaction, the participants play specific roles:

The substance that loses electrons. It causes the other substance to be reduced (by "donating" electrons to it). Why It Matters Understanding oxidation is critical for several fields: oxidization

The substance that gains electrons. It causes the other substance to be oxidized (by "stealing" its electrons). When an apple turns brown after being sliced,

This is a biological "slow burn." Your body oxidizes glucose (sugar) to produce ATP, the primary energy currency of life. the primary energy currency of life.
