BFD105-Biological Foundations - Laureate International Universities
Assessment - Real World Experiment- Chemistry and Biochemistry in Health
Learning Outcome 1: Explore the fundamental principles of basic chemistry as relevant to human biochemistry and their relevance to health science
Learning Outcome 2: Identify solutions, mixtures and their equilibrium, acid/bases and oxidation/reduction and relate these to how they impact physiological processes and metabolism
Instructions: Application of Redox reactions- the real life uses
In many important chemical reactions, electrons are transferred from atom to atom. These redox reactions otherwise known as oxidation and reduction reactions are complementary processes and always occur together. We are surrounded by redox reactions in our everyday life.
Step 1: Find four Oxidation- Reduction reactions in everyday life. You can choose up to three reactions from the list given below:
• Photosynthesis
• Respiration
• Combustion
Step 2: Answer the following questions for all four Oxidation-reduction reactions that youhave chosen.
Each Redox Reaction question:
1. Name the redox reaction
2. Write the chemical equation:
3. Identify the elements that are involved in the reaction, both names and symbols are required
4. Describe what occurs in this reaction by identifying reactants and products.
5. Explain the significance of this chemical reaction in a real world application.
Step 3: Include a referencing list (must include a minimum of two references).
Step 4: Upload your answers to the assessment submission area.
