Answer:

attached below

Explanation:

Attached below is the complete balanced redox reaction

Oxidation as seen in the first Redox equation is the addition of hydrogen or the loss of electrons

For The first reaction

The reactant = lipoic acid

product = dihydrolipoic acid

second reaction

The reactant ; ubiquinone

product ; ubiquinol
