Ƒ An atom that gains one or more electronswill have a NEGATIVE charge. ƒ An atom that loses one or more electrons will have a POSTIVE charge. ƒ An atom that gains or losesone or more electrons is called an ION. ƒ A positive ion is called a CATION and a negative ion is called an ANION.

From this information above you can see its negative so it means it gets reduced
hope it helped

In this reaction the lead atoms gain anelectron (reduction) while the oxygen loses electrons (oxidation). Magnesium loses electrons and is therefore said to be "oxidized", whereas the chlorines gain electrons and are said to be reduced
and as you can see oxidation only happens when oxygen is reduced

Answer:

The bacterium Vibrio cholerae is the primary cause of cholera disease that mainly infects the small intestine and primarily leads to the dehydration of the body.

Explanation:

The genetic analysis reveals that the aforementioned causative bacteria surpass the acidic conditions of the stomach and eventually reaches the intestinal wall and attaches to it. This is followed by the production of toxic protein by the bacterium. This protein is taken inside the cell via receptor mediated endocytosis followed by its binding to the host protein Arf6. This binding leads to the production of cAMP that results in the dehydration process. This mechanism leads to excessive accumulation of chloride ion in the intestine preventing the entry of sodium ion.

These two ions are associated with the creation of water-salt environment in the intestine that leads to tremendous diarrhea via the process of osmosis.

Hence, we can say that cholera bacterium affects the individuals at the cellular level and osmosis plays a vital role in the process.
