Реакции этого типа называются окислительно-восстановительными. Для них характерна передача электрона от донора (в данном случае — водорода) акцептору (в данном случае — кислороду), обладающему гораздо большей потребностью в их присоединении. В итоге образуется термодинамически стабильный конечный продукт (вода). В ходе любой окислительно-восстановительной реакции происходит передача электронов от донора акцептору, и примечательно, что все живое, от бактерий до человека, получает энергию за счет того или иного механизма передачи электронов. Венгерский нобелевский лауреат Альберт Сент-Дьерди высказался так: «Жизнь есть не что иное как электроны, которые ищут себе место для отдыха».
