What are the electrons carriers in cellular respiration?

NAD+, (or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)


How is the function of NAD is similar to that of NADP?

NADP is part of the Light Independant reaction (Calvin Cycle) of photosynthesis. The NADP combines with a Hydrogen Ion to create NADPH.When the NADP is turned into NADPH it basically is just an energy carrier to turn CO2 into Carbon based sugar molecules.


How nadph has more energy than nadp?

Inside the cell, NAD is mostly oxidized. The ready availability of the NAD+ will help to speed up the oxidative reactions in the TCA and glycolysis. In contrast, NADP is mainly found in the reduced state. The high level of NADPH will promote reductive reactions in biosynthesis. (http://watcut.uwaterloo.ca/webnotes/Metabolism/page-8.2.html) NAD+ is reduced to NADH in respiration, and NADPH is produced from NADP+ in the light stage of photosynthesis and is not involved in respiration. Remember P (NADP+ and Photosynthesis).


Why are electrons (NAD in celluar respiration and NADP in photosynthesis)used?

Electrons are crucial in cellular respiration and photosynthesis as they facilitate energy transfer through redox reactions. In cellular respiration, NAD+ accepts electrons during the breakdown of glucose, becoming NADH, which then donates electrons to the electron transport chain to produce ATP. Similarly, in photosynthesis, NADP+ accepts electrons during the light-dependent reactions, forming NADPH, which provides the reducing power for the Calvin cycle to synthesize glucose. Both processes rely on these electron carriers to efficiently convert energy from one form to another.


What happens when no NAD plus is present during glycolysis?

Without NAD+ in glycolysis, the conversion of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate cannot occur, halting the production of ATP. As a result, glycolysis is inhibited, and the cell's ability to generate energy through this pathway is compromised.

How is the function of NAD plus similar to that of NADP plus?

Both NAD+ and NADP+ are coenzymes involved in redox reactions in cells. They both act as electron carriers, accepting and donating electrons during metabolic processes. NAD+ is primarily involved in catabolic reactions, while NADP+ is involved in anabolic reactions.


What difference it will make if you use nadh instead of nadph in gogat assay?

GOGAT may have not a same affinity for NADP and NAD. GOGAT depednance for NADP or NAD is related to the analysed tissu (bacteria, fungi, plant...) [floristqiue@yahoo.fr] GOGAT may have not a same affinity for NADP and NAD.

How is nad involved in the product of glycolysis?

like NADP+ in photosynythesis, each NAD+ accepts a pair of high-energy electrons. This molecule, known as NADH, holds the electrons until they can be transferred to other molecules. By doing this, NAD+ helps to pass energy from glucose to other pathways in the cell.

What is the main function of the vitamin or mineral to you in niacin?

it serves as coenzyme for many enzymes in the form of NAD,NADP,NADPH..............


What is the term referring to the group of organic molecules that assist in the activation of enzymes?

Coenzyme, like NAD, NADP, CoA.


Does the reduction of NAD plus occur in respiration or photosynthesis?

In Photosynthesis, in Non- Cyclic Photophosphorylation, NADP- is produced but is then reduced to NADPH2 which is a reduced coenzyme. The reactions to get from NADP- to NADPH2 are shown below:NADP- + H+ ---> NADPH (The H+ came from the hydrolysed water molecule from PSII)NADPH + e- ---> NADPH-NADPH- + H+ ---> NADPH2


What is the term collectively referring to the group organic molecules that assist in the activation of enzymes?

Coenzyme, like NAD, NADP, CoA.

Is NADP cell energy?

NADP (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is a coenzyme that plays a vital role in cellular energy transfer processes, specifically in photosynthesis. It acts as an electron carrier, helping to transfer electrons and store energy in the form of an electrochemical gradient. While NADP itself is not a direct source of energy, it is essential for the conversion of light energy into chemical energy in plants.
