Answer:

Glucose loses electrons and hydrogen to form carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

During cellular respiration, glucose is oxidized into carbon dioxide. Oxidation of glucose refers to the process in which it loses electrons and hydrogen atoms. The product is carbon dioxide which is an oxidized substance. The released electrons are accepted by NAD+ and FAD+ and result in the formation of NADH and FADH2.

Answer: <u>Option 4; Oxygen gains electrons and hydrogen to form water. </u>

Respiration is a process where glucose is used and energy is released stored in this molecule. Oxygen is used during respiration as well and it gains the electrons and hydrogen to form water. And, gain of electrons is an oxidation reaction. So answer is option 4.

Since, oxygen is consumed during respiration, option 1 is incorrect.

Loss of electrons is reduction, so option 2 is also incorrect.

Glucose is used in respiration, thus option 3 is incorrect.

What is the difference between an atom of silver and anatom of gold?

eduard

The right answer is C. I think, a. and d. are obviously not serious. B is not true, because Ag and Au are in the same group in the periodic table and therefore have the same number of electrons in the last level. So, they form ions with the same charge. C is true beacause Ag and Au have different numbers in the periodic table and different amount of protons and neutrons in their nucleuses.
