If an oxidation reaction occurs
A. simultaneous reduction of a different compound will also occur, because electrons do not generally exist alone in solution.
B. another oxidation reaction will occur for a complete reaction, because one oxidation event is considered a half reaction.
C. a cell is undergoing aerobic respiration, because oxygen is being used.
D. a reduction reaction would not occur, because they are opposite reaction mechanisms.
