There are various extremely important ''electrochemical'' [[processes]] in both [[nature]] and industry, like the coating of objects with metals or metal oxides through electrodeposition and the detection of alcohol in drunken drivers through the redox [[reaction]] of ethanol. The generation of [[chemical]] [[energy]] through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis photosynthesis] is [[inherently]] an ''electrochemical'' [[process]], as is production of metals like aluminum and titanium from their ores. Certain diabetes blood sugar meters [[measure]] the amount of glucose in the blood through its [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redox redox] [[potential]].

The [[nervous]] [[impulses]] in [[neurons]] are based on [[electric]] current generated by the movement of sodium and potassium ions into and out of [[cells]], and certain [[animals]] like eels can generate a powerful [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage voltage] from certain cells that can disable much larger [[animals]].
