Answer:
Oxidation refers to losing of electrons while reduction refers to the gaining of electrons. The reactions in which oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously are referred to redox reaction. For e.g.
CuO + H2 → Cu + H2O
Here copper oxide is reduced and thus acts as oxidizing agent.H2 is oxidized and acts as reducing agent.
There are reactions in which oxidation and reduction of same compound results. Such reactions are called disproportionation reaction. For e.g. on heating potassium chlorate we get
2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2
The other example is
2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2
