Did sodium donates or accept electrons?

Sodium donates one electron from it's valance shell and becomes the cation, Na + Having a 1 + positive charge as it is short the one electron.


During aerobic respiration what directly donates electrons to the electron transport chain at the lowest energy level?

FADH2 Only FADH2 and NADH donates electrons to the electron chain, and FADH2 donates at a lower level. Hence FADH2 produces less ATP than NADH.
