Are NADH FADH used to carry high energy electrons and H?

Is lactic acid formed and muscle tissue when there is not enough oxygen present


What is the role of molecules such as nadh nadh and fadh in metabolic?

NADH and FADH2 act as electron carriers in metabolic pathways, transferring electrons to the electron transport chain to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. These molecules play a crucial role in the production of energy in the form of ATP during cellular respiration.


How does and electron transport chain result in the gradual release of energy stored in glucose?

Basically NADH and FADH are oxidized to by oxidizing agents in the ETC. Since the electrons are moving from something less electronegative to something more electronegative, free energy in released. This free energy takes H protons and moves it against the inner membrane to the outside. Eventually, the outside will create a concentration gradient, and cause the H protons to pass through a area on the membrane called ATPase. As the H protons move through ATPase, ADP is turned into ATP. This processes doesn't happen all at once, but happens over time from the NADH and FADH glucose creates during glycolosis and the citric cycle. These NADH and FADH are oxidized "slowly", so energy is gradually released to create ATP.


What process uses NADH and FADH to create ATP?

The process that uses NADH and FADH to create ATP is oxidative phosphorylation. This process occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane and involves the transfer of electrons from NADH and FADH to the electron transport chain, leading to the production of ATP through a series of redox reactions.


What 2 coenzymes contain all the energy at the end of Krebs cycle?

NADH and FADH2 are two coenzymes that carry most of the energy produced during the Krebs cycle. These coenzymes will then go on to the electron transport chain to donate their electrons and contribute to ATP production.

What is FADH?

FADH2 (Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide) is an electron accepter that is utilized in cellular respiration. FADH2 is produced during the Krebs cycle of cellular respiration. It then brings the electrons to the cytochrome complex. Electrons accepted by FADH2 enter the cytochrome complex later than electrons accepted by NADH, and therefore produce less ATP.

probably something.

What combines to make NADH and FADH?

NADH and FADH2 lose their electrons, and the energy from those electrons is used to produce ATP. At the end of the electron transport chain, the energy of the glucose molecule is converted to a form that the cell can use to power cellular work. NADH and FADH2 interact with proteins embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane, losing their electrons to them in the process. These electrons will move through a series of proteins in the membrane, which make up the electron transport chain. The oxidized NAD+ and FAD are then able to accept more electrons from glycolysis and the Krebs cycle to keep the process going.


What are the 2 energy carriers that enter the electron transport chain and their energy can be transferred to ATP?

FAD and NADHThe pick up electrons, with attendant protons, to carry into the transport chain and become,FADH and NADH2
