What is energy-carrying molecule called?

carrier molecule1. A molecule that plays a role in transporting electrons through the electron transport chain. Carrier molecules are usually proteins bound to a nonprotein group; they can undergo oxidation and reduction relatively easily, thus allowing electrons to flow through the system. There are four types of carrier: flavoproteins (e.g. FAD), cytochromes, iron-sulphur proteins (e.g. ferredoxin), and ubiquinone.2. A lipid-soluble molecule that can bind to lipid-insoluble molecules and transport them across membranes. Carrier molecules have specific sites that interact with the molecules they transport. Several different molecules may compete for transport by the same carrier. See transport protein.


What energy carrier molecules are produce by glycolysis?

NADH and ATP


What is the electron carrier in photosynthesis that will donate electrons to co2 so it can be fixed into sugar is?

The electron carrier in photosynthesis that donates electrons to CO2 for its conversion into sugar is NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). NADPH is produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis and transfers high-energy electrons to the Calvin cycle to facilitate the fixation of CO2 into sugar molecules.


What causes the electrons to become excited and move into the electron transport chain?

Electrons become excited in the electron transport chain due to the energy input from electron carrier molecules like NADH and FADH2. These electron carriers donate the electrons to the proteins in the chain, creating a flow of electrons that drives the production of ATP.

Why do high-energy electrons need carrier molecules?

High-energy electrons are unstable and reactive, so they need carrier molecules to transport them safely without causing damage to the cell. Carrier molecules such as NADH and FADH2 can carry high-energy electrons during cellular respiration, allowing them to participate in energy-producing reactions without causing harm.

What are the two energy carrier molecules used to transfer energy from the citric acid cycle to the electron transport chain?

The two energy carrier molecules used are NADH and FADH2. These molecules are produced during the citric acid cycle and deliver electrons to the electron transport chain, where they drive the production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

Photosynthesis carrier molecules?

In photosynthesis, carrier molecules like NADPH and ATP play crucial roles in transferring energy and electrons during the light-dependent reactions. NADPH carries energized electrons to fuel the Calvin cycle, while ATP provides energy for glucose synthesis. These molecules help convert light energy into chemical energy that plants use for growth and survival.
