Not exactly. It is true that NAD is formed during electron transport chain, however, it's not a direct product. NADH is an electron carrier that dumps its electron to the electron transport chain, which oxidizes it into NAD. NAD then goes back to become reduced by glycolysis or citric acid cycle.
The intermediate electron acceptor for oxidations in both glycolysis and the Krebs cycle is NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). NAD+ accepts electrons and becomes reduced to NADH during these metabolic pathways. NADH can then donate its electrons to the electron transport chain for further energy production.
NAD+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) gains two hydrogen atoms and two electrons to form NADH during glycolysis. NAD+ acts as an electron carrier, accepting the hydrogen atoms and becoming reduced to form NADH.
The electron acceptor for humans in the electron transport chain is oxygen.
Oxygen is an important electron and hydrogen acceptor in noncyclic pathways of ATP formation, such as oxidative phosphorylation in aerobic respiration. This process involves the transfer of electrons from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen, leading to the production of ATP.
Yes, NAD is an electron acceptor in biological processes.

Oxygen is typically considered the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain (ETC) during cellular respiration. It accepts electrons from NADH and FADH2 to form water, which marks the end of the electron transport chain and generates ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

No, oxygen is the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain.
Yes, NAD is an electron acceptor in biological processes.
NAD+ is the first electron acceptor in cellular respiration (O2 is the final acceptor).
It is used as the final electron acceptor in the electron transfer chain. It takes the electron from NADH reducing it back to NAD+ allowing it to be reused in the electron transfer chain producing H2O.Without it the process would stop and the organism would very very quickly run out of energy to survive
The final products of the Electron Transport System (ETS) are ATP molecules, which are the cell's main energy currency, and water molecules. Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor to form water.
The final electron acceptor at the end of the cellular respiration electron transport chain is oxygen. Oxygen accepts electrons and protons to form water during the process of oxidative phosphorylation.
No, chlamydia doesn't have a final electron acceptor. That is why it needs to live within the host cells
