Answer ::

Oxidation = When there is a loss of hydrogen or electrons OR gain of oxygen is known as Oxidation reaction.
Reduction = When there is a gain of hydrogen or electron OR loss of oxygen is known as a reduction reaction
Example of oxidation-reduction reaction is observed in the human body when an electron is transferred into the cell and oxidation of glucose take place from which we get the energy.
