Redox Flashcards
1
Q
Reduction
A
Gaining electrons
2
Q
Oxidation
A
losing electrons
3
Q
redox reactions
A
two processes always occur together, reduction and oxidation.
(Electrons lost from oxidation used for reduction)
4
Q
Redox reactions in Photosynthesis
A
passing pair of electrons is an oxidation/reduction reaction
5
Q
ATP
A
favourite candy, high energy molecule stores energy in its chemical bonds
6
Q
ADP
A
one less phosphate, less energy than ATP
7
Q
Phosphorylation
A
phosphate group added to ADP to make ATP (required energy)
ADP + P + ENERGY = ATP
8
Q
Enzyme
A
protein molecules, work as catalysts.
