NAD+
¨ Five types ¤ Flavoproteins e.g NAD+/NADH ¤ Cytochromes e.g heme in hemoglobin ¤ Copper atoms Cu2+/Cu1+ in inner mitochondrial membrane ¤ Ubiquinone or coenzyme Q ¤ Iron-sulfur proteins Fe3+/Fe2+
The energy in light raises some of the electrons in chlorophyll to higher energy levels. These high-energy electrons are used in photosynthesis. Electron carriers are used to transport the electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules during photosynthesis.
NADH and ATP
the oil drop experiment postulated unit charges or electrons
NAD+ accept electrons.
NAD+ is reduced. It becomes NADH.
NAD+
It becomes the reduced form, NADH.
It becomes the reduced form, NADH.
It becomes the reduced form, NADH.
NAD+ is reduced. It becomes NADH.
NAD+, (or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)
Electrons. ( plus that proton )
the free energy liberated when electrons are removed from the organic molecules must be greater than the energy required to give the electrons to NAD+
Electron acceptor that carry electrons by becoming reduced from oxidized products of respiration/photosynthesis and carry these electrons to the mitochondria.
