Question
What are reduction potential and oxidation potential?
✓

Answer

The reduction half-potential in a metabolic reaction is known as reduction potential and the potential of oxidation half reaction is called oxidation potential. For a half reaction, the values of oxidation potential and reduction potential are same but their signs are opposite.
