redox reaction
(ree-doks)
A chemical reaction involving the transfer of one or more electrons from one reactant to another; also called oxidation-reduction reaction.

[edit] Redox reactions in industry
Oxidation is used in a wide variety of industries such as in the production of cleaning products.
Redox reactions are the foundation of electrochemical cells.
redox reactions Oxidation-reduction reaction; a chemical reaction involving the transfer of electrons from one molecule to another.
AKA: redox reaction
A reaction in which electrons are transferred from a donor (the reducing agent) to an acceptor molecule (the oxidizing agent).

The electron is "boosted" to a higher energy state and attached to a primary electron acceptor, which begins a series of redox reactions, passing the electron through a series of electron carriers, ...
Problem 3: Overall redox reaction
During noncyclic photophosphorylation, water is oxidized and the electrons from water pass through photosystem II and photosystem I before reducing: A carbon dioxide
B NADP+
C plastoquinones ...
Such coupled reactions are referred to as redox reactions. The metabolic processes glycolysis, Kreb's Cycle, and Electron Transport Phosphorylation involve the transfer of electrons (at varying energy states) by redox reactions.
Pyridine nucleotides Nucleotides, such as NAD+, NADH, NADP+, and NADPH, that are employed in redox reactions; the functional group is nicotinamide, a derivative of pyridine.
