The metal atoms are losing electrons to form an ion. They are being oxidised. \(Mg(s) \to Mg_{}^{2 + }(aq) + 2e_{}^ - \) This is known as an ion-electron equation. Reduction is the opposite of ...

Oxidants, such as hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anions, can damage cellular components when produced in large amounts. When reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced at lower, regulated levels, ...

In this reaction, carbon is oxidised because it gains oxygen. At the same time, copper oxide is reduced because oxygen is removed from it.

An alternating aerobic and anoxic (AAA) system is a continuous-flow, activated-sludge process in which the environmental conditions necessary to meet the specific requirements for aerobic ...

Oxidants, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), are known to induce damage to therapeutic proteins. Although cells and tissues usually have antioxidant systems to combat ROS and maintain the balance ...
