What is the function of the NADH and FADH?
They are used in the production of ATP, the 'energy currency' of the cell. FADH2 and NADH have the very important role of being electron carriers for the electron transport chain. Both are used at key points in glycolysis and/or the Kreb's cycle. FADH2 : Carries electrons in the form of hydrogen atoms (1 proton and 1 electron) with 0 net charge. With 2 hydrogens FAD may use these electrons one at a time or 2 at a time, depending on which ever process it is in. NADH : Carries it's electrons in the form of hydrides (1 proton and 2 electrons) with -1 net charge. Since these electrons are in the hydride form they both must be used at the same time, there isn't an option to use 1 OR 2 only 2 electrons.
What is the role of hydrogen ion gradient used for in cellular respiration in the mitochondria?
The hydrogen ion gradient is used to drive ATP synthesis. 32 to 34 molecules of ATP are produced. The hydrogen ion gradient is the result of NADH in the electron transport system of the mitochondria.
Where are molecules of electron transport chain found in plant cells?
thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts
What is the role of the lungs in ridding the body of metabolic waste?
Your lungs wash out the carbon bi oxide. It is a metabolic waste of biological oxidation process.
What is the role of NAD plus in the electronic transport chain during respiration?
NADH+ provides electrons for the é transport chain.
What is the role of molecules such nadph nadh and fadh in metabolic process?
NADH and FADH are Coenzymes which act as carriers of electrons, protons, and energy in metabolism.
What is the role of molecules such as nadph and nadh and fadh2 in metabolic processes?
They are electron carriers.
What is the coenzyme accepting the majority of the hydrogens in aerobic respiration?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), which is reduced to NADH by the hydrogen. Another molecules that performs the same function but plays a relatively more minor role is FADH, which is reduced to FADH2.
Role of FADH in activation of vitamin B2?
role of fadh in activation of vitamin b2
What is the role of molecules such as NADPH FADH2 in metabolic processes?
They are electron carriers

What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?
Within the context of cellular respiration (as well as in photosynthesis) NADH acts as an electron receptor. During glycolysis and the Kreb's cycle, various molecules are oxidized (lose electrons) and these electrons are passed to NADH. The NADH then carries the electrons to the mitochondria where they are deposited for the electron transport chain which uses the movement of the electrons to generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate; the body's energy molecule).

What is the role of enzyme complex in the electron transport chain?
A. Transfer electrons to NAD+ B. Power Krebs cycle C. Receive electrons from NADH D. Produce ATP from sugar

Your lungs wash out the carbon bi oxide. It is a metabolic waste of biological oxidation process.
Describe the role of fermentation in the second stage of cellular respiration?
It frees up NADH to be used in glycolysis again.
