As mentioned before‚ browning in bananas is an enzymatic process where enzymes such as polyphenol oxidase serve as catalysts in the oxidation of several phenolic compounds. In this experiment however‚ the only reaction being tested is the oxidation of catechol (a diphenol) by the enzyme catalyst catechol oxidase or polyphenol oxidase‚ which initiates a chain of reactions and eventually triggers the formation of brown pigments known as catechol-melanins. Catechol‚ also called 1‚2-dihydroxybenzene

reactions. All chemical reactions where the oxidation numbers of atoms are changed are called redox reactions. Acid-base reactions hold similar characteristics that redox reactions do. Basically‚ redox reactions can be described as a group of reactions that focus on the transfer of electrons. Similarly to acid-base reaction‚ a reduction reaction must be happening simultaneously with an oxidation reaction (Masterton‚ 2008). A loss of electron is called oxidation while reduction is an increase of electrons

electron transfer between the reactions runs through an external wire the oxidation and reduction reactions are physically separated from each other‚ so they are called half-cell reactions A half-cell can be prepared with almost any metal in contact with a solution of its ions. Each elements own unique electron configuration means that each element has a different electrical potential‚ so different combinations of oxidation and reduction half-cells result different voltages for the completed electrochemical

converted into ATP. By adding one phosphate molecule to ADP‚ it becomes ATP. 4. Differentiate between oxidation and reduction reactions. Oxidation is a process‚ in which the atom or ion is increasing its oxidation sate. This will result in loss of electrons. The species that are being oxidized‚ are the reduction agents. Reduction is a process‚ by which the atom or ion is decreasing its oxidation state. This will result in a gain of electrons. Here‚ the species that are being reduced are the oxidizing

Peroxisomes are membrane-bound organelle that are found in all eukaryotic cells participate in many metabolic reactions within the cell. These reactions include “β-oxidation of fatty acids‚ α-oxidation of branched chain fatty acids and ether lipid biosynthesis” (Faust et al.‚ 2012). Alberts et al.
