Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
FADH2 should be classified as an oxidizing agent, a reducing agent or neither.
Concept Introduction:
During oxidation of compound electrons or hydrogens are lost or oxygen is gained. During the reduction of a compound, electrons or hydrogens are gained or oxygen is lost. Coenzymes act as oxidizing agents or reducing agents. Oxidizing agent drives the oxidation reaction and gets reduced. Reducing agent drives reduction reactions and gets oxidized.
(b)
Interpretation:
ATP should be classified as an oxidizing agent, a reducing agent or neither.
