  • During the oxidization of glucose, energy is released in the form of ATP.
Context #2 | Noun

corrosion

In the context of corrosion, oxidization is the process where a metal is gradually deteriorated due to exposure to oxygen, moisture, or other reactive substances.

Synonyms

corrosion

Examples of usage

  • The oxidization of copper leads to the formation of greenish patina.
  • Preventing oxidization is essential to prolong the lifespan of metal objects.
Context #3 | Noun

biology

In biological terms, oxidization is a metabolic process where oxygen is used to break down molecules for energy production within cells.

Synonyms

oxidation

Examples of usage

  • Aerobic organisms rely on oxidization for the production of ATP.
