Yes, and it is predominant in photosynthesis in plants.
No, ATP is not considered an electron carrier. ATP is the primary energy-carrying molecule in cells, storing and transferring energy for cellular processes. Electron carriers like NADH and FADH2 are involved in the transport of electrons during cellular respiration.

NADH and ATP
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the main energy carrier in the cell. It stores and transfers energy for various cellular processes, such as metabolism, muscle contraction, and protein synthesis.
NADH delivers electrons to the electron transport chain in the mitochondria during cellular respiration. This transfer of electrons helps to generate a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which drives the production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
Noncyclic electron flow results in the generation of ATP and NADPH. In this process, electrons are passed through the photosystems in the thylakoid membrane and ultimately drive the creation of these essential energy molecules.
The electron carrier in cellular respiration is NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). NADH carries electrons from glucose breakdown to the electron transport chain, where they are used to generate ATP.
NADH (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is an electron carrier that stores energy in the form of high-energy electrons and is involved in the process of oxidative phosphorylation to generate ATP.
ADP/ATP (adenine-tri- phosphate)
One example of an electron carrier molecule is NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). NAD+ is involved in redox reactions, acting as a carrier of electrons during cellular respiration to help generate ATP. It accepts electrons from substrates and becomes reduced to NADH, which can then donate the electrons to the electron transport chain for ATP production.
NADH and ATP
No, CoA (Coenzyme A) is not an electron carrier. It primarily functions as a carrier of acyl groups in various metabolic pathways, facilitating the transfer of acyl groups during fatty acid metabolism. NADH and FADH2 are examples of electron carriers.
The Kreb's Cycle is a repeating series of reactions that produces ATP, electron carriers, and carbon dioxide.
NADPH and ATP are produced by the light reactions. The ATP is a high energy molecule produced by photophosphorylation while the NADPH is produced at the end of the electron transport chain.
The energy carrier that transports less energy than NADH but more than ATP is FAD and FADH2. Glucose oxidation is aerobic process C6H12O6 plus 6O2 equals 6CO2 plus 6H2O plus energy.
The two electron carrier molecules that feed electrons into the electron transport chain are NADH and FADH2. These molecules are produced during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, respectively. The electrons carried by NADH and FADH2 are then transferred to the electron transport chain to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
ATP
Regardless of the electron or hydrogen acceptor used, one of the products of fermentation is always ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the primary energy carrier in cells and is produced during fermentation to provide energy for cellular processes.
The process that changes the shape of transport proteins when a particle binds to it is called conformational change. This change in shape allows the protein to either open a channel for the particle to pass through or undergo a rotational movement to transfer the particle across the membrane.
