NADH and FADH2 in the electron transport chain do not directly donate electrons to oxygenWhy?
The temperature in cells is not high enough. Each of the redox reactions in the electron transport chain are catalyzed by an enzyme. NADH dehydrogenase transfers electrons from NADH to ubiquinone, and cytochrome c oxidase transfers electrons from cytochrome c to oxygen. So there is no enzyme to pass the electrons directly from NADH to oxygen.
What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?
Within the context of cellular respiration (as well as in photosynthesis) NADH acts as an electron receptor. During glycolysis and the Kreb's cycle, various molecules are oxidized (lose electrons) and these electrons are passed to NADH. The NADH then carries the electrons to the mitochondria where they are deposited for the electron transport chain which uses the movement of the electrons to generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate; the body's energy molecule).
During aerobic respiration electrons travel downhill in which seqeuence?
food--> NADH --> electron transport chain --> oxygen
Raw materials in electron transport chain?
The raw materials of the Krebs cycle are the acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate. The first two stages of the process is called cellular respiration.
What is the result of cascade of electrons down the electron transport chains of the light reactions?
Oxygen
When NADH transfers electrons to oxygen oxygen is being what?
Electron transfer phosphorylation
What happens to the high-energy electrons held by NADH if there is no oxygen present?
What happens to the high-energy electrons held by NADH if there is no oxygen present?
What does NADH carry that can be used in the process of chemiosmosis?
NADH carries hydrogen and electrons that can be used in the process of chemiosmosis.

What compound is NADH converted to when it transfers high energy electrons to the first electron carrier?
NADPH is used to cay hi energy electrons.
During cell respiration what is the purpose of NADH?
The purpose of NADH is to carry electrons from glycolysis to the Krebs cycle in the process of cellular respiration.
What is the role of molecules such nadph nadh and fadh in metabolic process?
NADH and FADH are Coenzymes which act as carriers of electrons, protons, and energy in metabolism.
How is dehydrogenase involved in the reduction of coenzyme NADH during cellular respiration?
It transfers 2 electrons and 1 proton (h+) from an organic substance to NAD+ oxidized.

How many electrons can a NADH molecule carry?
The electron transport chain is also known as the respiratory chain. NADH carries electrons in the form of hydrogen atoms to the electron transport chain.
