yes it does because if it is an redox reaction then something has to be getting reduced of oxygen, therefore the equation must contain oxygen in some type of form somewhere.Sorcha :)
A redox reaction (reduction and oxidation reaction) is a reaction in which there is a transfer of electrons. When an element is reduced, it gains electrons and its oxidation number is reduced. When...
oxidation happen by increasing O molecules or losing 2H or by losing electrons... e.g : Ag___> (Ag+1) + e -1 here Ag has lost one electron so become oxidized
Ah, but glucose can be oxidized by burning. It is quite possible to melt glucose, and ignite it. Why woudn't you want that to happen inside your body? Do you have a boiler in your abdomen? an...
