NAD+ is a CO-enzyme.
NAD plus
A. both NAD plus and FAD
NAD+ is reduced. It becomes NADH.
Electrons. ( plus that proton )
NAD plus
to accept high energy electrons
NAD+ gets oxidized by accepting electrons (and protons) during redox reactions. It is reduced to NADH when it accepts these electrons.
NAD can accept 2 protons from NADH, forming the reduced state: NADH2
There are 2 FAD and NAD and molecules. This is to breakdown each glucose molecule.
NAD+ can shuttle electrons because it can accept electrons to become reduced to NADH, which can then donate those electrons to other molecules in the cell. This ability to cycle between oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH) forms allows NAD+ to act as a carrier of high-energy electrons during processes like cellular respiration.
NAD+ is a substrate in redox reactions because it serves as a coenzyme that accepts and donates electrons during cellular respiration to facilitate energy production.
No, NADH is not a protein. It is a coenzyme that plays a key role in cellular respiration by carrying high-energy electrons from one reaction to another.
