Electron Carriers

• 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.
