Best Answer

NADH or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is a coenzyme present in all living cells. It needs to be reoxidized in order for glycolysis to continue.

Why is NAD plus important in anaerobic respiration?

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.

When a molecule of NAD gains a hydrogen atom the molecule becomes?

It will be NADH. An electron quarrier in the photosynthesis process.


When NADH loses a hydrogen ion?

It becomes NAD. This happens during electron transport where NADH drops off its H+ and electrons to be used in oxidative phosphorylation. NAD now must move to glycolysis or citric acid cycle to regain its hydrogen.
