Question
7. What is the biological function of NAD+?A. It is a coenzyme that accepts electron released by the oxidation of organic molecules.
B. It is a coenzyme that provides electrons in the reduction of organic molecules
C. It is a coenzyme that accepts electrons for the reduction of organic molecules
D. It provides electron for substrate-level phosphorylation of ADP to ATP
E. It is electron transport chain final electron acceptor.
Explanation / Answer
NAD+ picks up the electrons that are removed during glycolysis --> makes a molecule of NADH. This NADH goes to the electron transport chain where it gives up the electron to the electron transport chain.
