What is the function of FAD in glycolysis?

Answer 1

Fads are temporary periods of unusally high sales driven by consumer enthusiasm and immediate product or brand popularity.

FAD can also mean:

Answer 2

Strips and carries electrons and protons from Calvin cycle intermediates ( succinate, fumerate or malate ) to use in the process of oxidative phosphorilation and chemiosmosis. Becomes FADH2 when reduced.

Answer 3

According to Wikipedia:

In biochemistry, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is a redox cofactor involved in several important reactions in metabolism. FAD can exist in two different redox states and its biochemical role usually involves changing between these two states. Many oxidoreductases, called flavoenzymes or flavoproteins, require FAD as a prosthetic group which functions in electron transfers. FADH is known as reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide.

FAD is derived from riboflavin (vitamin B2). It consists of a riboflavin group bound to the phosphate group of an adenosine diphosphate molecule. Note that, though the name flavin adenine dinucleotide is a misnomer (the molecule contains only one nucleotide, the riboflavin moiety is not linked to the D-ribityl group through glycosidic bond),[1] it is generally accepted now.

Answer 4

Both NAD and FAD function as electron carriers. When an electron pair is transferred to these molecules, either one or two hydrogens are also transferred. FAD has accommodation for two hydrogens while NAD can accept one hydrogen. In NAD, then, an electron pair and one hydrogen are transferred, with a second hydrogen released into the medium. This subtle chemical difference is why the reduced form of FAD is written FADH2 while the reduced form of NAD is written NADH + H+. These compounds are particularly appropriate electron carriers because they readily accept an electron pair and they also readily donate an electron pair. We saw FAD act in the Kreb's cycle, shown in the figure. FAD accepts an electron pair from succinate, becoming FADH2. FADH2 carries the electron pair to the electron transport chain, where it releases its electrons at such position in the chain that two ATPs are subsequently formed. The figure also shows that NAD operates as an electron carrier at three places in the Kreb's cycle, carrying electrons from isocitrate, alpha-ketogluterate and from malate to the electron transport chain. Here the electrons are loaded onto the chain such that three ATPs are formed.

Answer 5

FAD is a electron carrier that is reduced as glucose goes through oxidation. Then FAD becomes FADH2 and delivers it load of electrons the the systems in the electron transport chain.
