Oxidation and reduction review from biological point-of-view

ChemistryReduction and oxidation reactions oxidation In a chemical reaction if there is an increase in oxidation state then it is known as oxidation whereas if there is a decrease in oxidation state, it is known oxidation Oxidation is the reaction of Oxygen with an element in steel The most common form of oxidation is rust Rust is the build-up of molecules of Iron oxide

oxidation The oxidation behavior can vary from predominantly surface oxidation to oxidation by internal oxidation as the PO2 decreases depending upon alloy
