Oxidation - reduction reactions involve electron transfer. Oxidation is the loss of electrons, while reduction is the gain of electrons. Catalyzed refers to a reaction being sped up by a catalyst. Phosphorylated means a phosphate group is added. Neutralized is related to acid - base reactions where pH is adjusted to near - neutral.

A. reduced
