Summary Introduction

To identify:

The reactant oxidized and reduced in a reaction that occurred, “when someone exercises vigorously, pyruvate is converted to lactate in cells through the redox reaction”.

Introduction:

The oxidation and reduction reaction always occurs together in a chemical reaction called “redox reaction” (or oxidation-reduction reaction). Redox reaction is a “reaction of transferring electrons”.

Redox reaction contains features of oxidation number change: Oxidation: losing electron and increasing oxidation number and in reduction: gaining electron and decreasing oxidation number.
