Verified step by step guidance

Identify the chemical structures involved in the reaction. The image shows malate being converted to oxaloacetate.

Examine the structural change from malate to oxaloacetate. Notice that the hydroxyl group (-OH) on the second carbon in malate is converted to a carbonyl group (C=O) in oxaloacetate.

Understand the concept of oxidation and reduction. Oxidation involves the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state, while reduction involves the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state.

Determine the type of reaction. The conversion of an alcohol group to a carbonyl group involves the loss of hydrogen atoms, which is characteristic of oxidation.

Identify the coenzyme involved. NAD+ is typically involved in oxidation reactions, where it accepts electrons and is reduced to NADH.
