Dictionary » O » Oxidation OxidationDefinition noun (1) The combination of oxygen with a substance forming oxide. (2) A chemical reaction in which there is the loss of electrons or gain (or increase in the proportion) of oxygen, hence, resulting in an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom or ion. (3) A process resulting in an increase in oxidation number.
For instance in cellular respiration, the oxidation of glucose (C6H12O6) produces CO2.

Results from our forumCalculating ATPOxidation of one molecule of acetyl coA is the one Krebs cycle. In one Krebs cycle, produce 3 NADH, 1FADH2, 1 GTP 1 NADH = 3 ATP x 3 1FADH2 = 2 ATP x 1 1GTP = 1ATP ______________ Total: 12 ATP U have three acetyl CoA = 3 x ...

Fatty acid Oxidation-ATP yeild... to acetyl-CoA and synthesized from acetyl-CoA. Although the staring material of one process is identical to the product of the other, fatty acid oxidation is not the simple reverse of fatty acid biosynthesis. It is an entirely different process taking place in separate compartment of the cell. ...

Magnetite reducing bacteria... old article : http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11539843 This article centers around the reduction of magnetite by Shewanella, when coupled to oxidation of organic compounds. However, despite my efforts to find additional information about the process, I could not find anything useful. I'm ...

ETC - purpose of having different dehydrogenases?... great latitude in adjusting (delta)P generated during respiration. Since a large (delta)P can drive reversed electron transport and thus slow down oxidation of NADH and quinol, it may be an advantage to be able to direct electrons along alternate routes that bypass coupling sites and translocate ...
