Let's now watch this next Youtube Video on energy metabolism, oxidation and reduction. In energy metabolism, the words oxidation and reduction can be defined in terms of the adding or removing electrons and protons to a molecule. Oxidation is the loss of electrons and protons. Reduction is the gain of electrons and protons.
