Английский Язык - Английский Язык
A substance that accepts electrons during an oxidation-reduction reaction An electron acceptor is an oxidant
Small inorganic or organic compound that is reduced in a metabolic redox reaction
A substance that accepts electrons and is reduced during an oxidation-reduction reaction Examples of electron acceptors used by bacteria are oxygen (aerobes), nitrate (nitrate reducing bacteria), sulfate (sulfate reducers)
Relatively oxidized compounds which gain electrons from electron donors during cellular respiration and oxidation-reduction reactions, resulting in the release of energy to the cell and the reduction of the electron acceptor Microorganisms obtain energy by transferring electrons from electron donors such as organic compounds (or sometimes reduced inorganic compounds such as sulfide) to an electron acceptor Electron acceptors are compounds that are relatively oxidized and include oxygen, nitrate, iron (III), manganese (IV), sulfate, carbon dioxide, or in some cases the chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethene (TCE), dichloroethene (DCE) and vinyl chloride (VC)
A compound which accepts electrons during biotic or abiotic chemical reactions and is thereby reduced
Substance that accepts electrons during an oxidation-reduction reaction An electron acceptor is an oxidant
A substance that accepts electrons during an oxidation-reduction reaction Examples for bacteria are oxygen (aerobes), nitrate (nitrate reducing bacteria), and sulfate (sulfate reducers)
