Combustion
Undid revision 1093241742 by IpseCustos (talk) This is a short, carefully phrased paragraph on a notable property of combustion, namely that it is exothermic, based on experimental facts and multiple quoted reliable secondary sources (textbooks and official standards). Wholesale deletion is not justified. Other editors need to weigh in here.Tags: UndoReverted

Electron transport chain
Consensus phrasing that the energy released "by reactions of oxygen and reduced compounds such as cytochrome c and (indirectly) NADH and FADH" is used by the electron transport chain to pump protons.Tag: Visual edit
