*Comment on grading 1-2: 1 point was for choosing the correct substrates and products; 1 point was for combining them in a redox reaction that was spontaneous. A quiz that says "-0.5 choice" indicates that the complex actually has a different substrate. A quiz that says "-1 redox" indicates that (usually) two reduced substrates went to two oxidized products, which is not a redox reaction.
