Cells Harvest Energy from Organic Compounds by Oxidation
Identify what is oxidized and what is reduced in the following processes. a. $2 \mathrm{Br}^{-}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{Br}_{2}+2 \mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ b. $2 \mathrm{Ce}+3 \mathrm{Cu}^{2+} \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{Cu}+2 \mathrm{Ce}^{3+}$ c. $2 \mathrm{Zn}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{ZnO}$ d. $2 \mathrm{Na}+2 \mathrm{H}^{+} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Na}^{+}+\mathrm{H}_{2}$
