Coenzymes in Biologically Important Oxidation–Reduction Reactions

REFLECT AND APPLY The following half reactions play important roles in metabolism.

1/2 O2 + 2H+ + 2e → H2O

NADH + H+ → NAD+ + 2H+ + 2e

Which of these two is a half reaction of oxidation? Which one is a half reaction of reduction? Write the equation for the overall reaction. Which reagent is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor)? Which reagent is the reducing agent (electron donor)?
