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).

∙ 14y agoNAD+ and FAD are key electron carriers in the process of cellular respiration. Energy is stored in the forms of NADH and FADH2. NADH dehydogenase reduces NADH to NAD+ which helpd built a proton gadient across the mitochondrial membrane. This proton gradient, with the help of ATP synthase generate ATP energy.

Describe the role of fermentation in the second stage of cellular respiration?
It frees up NADH to be used in glycolysis again.
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!:-)
How many ATP molecules does each NADH molecule yield?
In glycolysis of cellular respiration, NADH produces 2ATP because one ATP is used to transport a molecule of NADH into the mitochondria and continue with aerobic respiration. However, in pyruvate decarboxylation and the Krebs cycle, each NADH yields 3ATPs. FADH2 yields 2 ATPs.
Identify the electron carriers of cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate, and then release waste products. The two types of electron carriers used in cellular respiration are FADH2 and NADH.
Electrons are brought to the electron transport by what high energy electron carriers?
NADP if photosynthesis. NAD or FAD if cellular respiration.
Describe the role of fermentation in the second stage of cellular respiration?
It frees up NADH to be used in glycolysis again.
Where are NADH and FAHD from cellular respiration produced?
NADH is produced in the mitochondria
What is the major role of oxidative phosphorylation in cellular respiration?
To produce ATP from the high energy electron carriers NADH and FADH2.
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.
Does cellular respiration use NADPH as its electron carrier?
No. Cellular respiration uses NADH as an electron carrier. NADPH is used in photosynthesis.
What is electron carrier use to transfer energy in cellular respiration?
NADH.
What is one true distinction between fermentation and cellular respiration?
cellular respiration uses oxygen but fermentation does not use oxygen
What part of glucose molecule provides electrons in cellular respiration?
hydrogen from the NADH and FADH2
What is the role of germinating soybeans in cellular respiration experiment?
go to the process of cellular respiration.
Does chloroplast make cellular respiration?
No,it has no role in cellular respiration.But it takes part in photo respiration.
What happens to the NADH and FADH molecules produce during cellular respiration?
they never move ever again
What energy is produced by cellular respiration?
NADH,FADH,ATP are produced.Finally all are used to generate ATP.
