Get Ready for This Chapter: Chapter 10 Question 2 Hi In this chapter, you will learn about the processes involved in transforming light energ as sources of energy for building food molecules (carbohydrates) Before beginning t section entitled 'Redox Reactions: Oxidation and Reduction"). The following question Part A Which of the folowing statements is not true of most cellular redox reactions? Ar The reactant that is oxidized loses electrons, acting as a reducing agent. The electron acceptor is reduced, acting as an oxidizing agent The electron acceptor is reduced, acting as a reducing The reactant that is reduced gains electrons. se Submit Request Answer Provide Feedback

Explanation / Answer

The correct answer is option C that is the electron acceptor is reduced, acting as a reducing agent because it is not true.

Reduction is gaining of electron and oxidation is losing electron.

Oxidizing agent is the agent that gets reduced and oxidize other and reducing agent is the agent that gets oxidized and reduce other. So, in cellular respiration reactions if the cellular acceptor is reduced then it gains electrons and it is acting as oxidizing agent.
