NAD and NADH function as coenzymes, meaning that they help to catalyze the breaking down of complex sugar molecules into various intermediate stages during the Krebs cycle. NAD + readily gains electrons from these intermediate sugar molecules and is reduced to NADH2. The main goal of the Krebs cycle is to release energy from glucose (sugar) and oxygen and release carbon dioxide and water. NADH is important because by breaking electrons off of the big complex sugar molecules, it allows CO2 to be released and also gains energy from those electrons. NADH molecules then carry those electrons into the electron transport chain where NADH is reoxidized to NAD+ releasing that energy.

What terminal electron acceptors are used in anaerobic cellular respiration?
anaerobic cellular respiration has 3 different stages, and their final electron acceptors are: pyruvate oxidation- NAD+ Krebs cycle- NAD+, FAD+ electron transport chain- Oxygen
Which electron carrier is used in the redox reactions in a cellular respiration?
NAD plus
Which carrier is used in the redox reactions in cellular respiration?
NAD plus
What are the electrons carriers in cellular respiration?
NAD+, (or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)
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 recycling of NAD plus under anaerobic conditions?
Fermintation

Bacteria nad fungi can respire anaerobically which usefull in converting sugar into alcohol Do you think anaerobic respiration in bacteria and fungi is a blessing or curse?
bactirea and fungi is blessing
What are the electrons carriers in cellular respiration?
NAD+, (or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)
How does the process of fermentation allow the survival of yeast?
Fermentation allows yeast to survive in an anaerobic environment without suffering the NAD+/NADH imbalance and lactate acidosis associated with regular anaerobic respiration. Excess NADH is shunted to produce ethanol from pyruvate, reducing NADH levels, replenishing NAD+ levels, and preventing the formation of acidic lactic acid.

NADH+ provides electrons for the é transport chain.
What is the recycling of NAD under anaerobic conditions?

How is the function of NAD plus similar to that of NADP plus?
NAD is an electron/H carrier in respiration and NADP is an electron/H carrier in photosynthesis.
What acts as an electron carrier in cellular respiration?
NADH, but it looks like NAD+. The plus means H though. N means nicotinamide. A means adenine. And D means dinucleotide. It's kind of confusing but with my help you should understand it. I hope i helped!:-)
What happens that causes hadh to change to nad plus and fadh2 to change to fad?
Loss of electrons causes NADH to become NAD+. This cycle of oxidation reduction helps generate ATP in cell respiration.
