NAD+ are
electron
carriers.
NAD+
is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide which is a
coenzyme
that transports
electrons
from
glucose
to the
Electron
Transport
Chain.
NAD+ is
reduced
to NADH.
NAD+
accepts
and
holds
high
energy
electrons.
NAD+ represents
stored
energy
that can be used to make
ATP.
NADH carries
electrons
to the
Electron
Transport
Chain
to release
free
energy.
Electrons are
unstable
on their own and
store
lots of
potential
energy.
