Electron Carriers

Cards (7)

  • 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.
