oxygen reduced water oxidized pyruvate glucose NADH 1. When a compound donates (loses) electrons, that compound becomes [oxidized]. Such a compound is often referred to as an electron donor. 2. When a compound accepts (gains) electrons, that compound becomes [reduced]. Such a compound is often referred to as an electron acceptor.
