Entry term(s) redox
Scope note: Reacción química en la que un electrón es transferido desde una molécula a otra. La molécula donante del electrón es el agente reductor o simplemente reductor, en tanto que la molécula receptora del electrón es el agente oxidante o simplemente oxidante. Los AGENTES REDUCTORES u OXIDANTES funcionan como un conjugado reductor-oxidante o par redox. (Traducción libre de: Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471)

Scope note: A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471).
