Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The oxidizing and reducing agents in the respiration reaction are to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Oxidation is the addition of an electronegative element or the removal of anelectropositive element in a chemical reaction.

Reduction is the addition of an electropositive element or the removal of an electronegative element in a chemical reaction.

A chemical reaction in which both oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously is called a redox reaction.

An oxidizing agent is a substance that oxidizes the other substance and gets reduced in a chemical reaction.

A reducing agent is a substance that reduces the other substance and gets oxidized in a chemical reaction.
