Summary Introduction

To review:

The functions of NAD, FAD and oxygen along with the meaning of symbols NAD, NADH+H+, FAD, and FADH2.

Introduction:

The gain of electrons by an atom or a molecule is termed as reduction while the loss of an electron is referred to as oxidation. Both these reactions occur simultaneously, that means, if one atom gets reduced, then there must be another atom which is being oxidized. The atom or molecule that donates its electron is termed as the reducing agent, while the one that is accepting the electrons is called the oxidizing agent.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Under standard conditions, will the following reactions proceed spontaneously as written? (1) Fumarate + NADH + H+ (2) succinate + NAD+ Cyto a (Fe²+) + cyto b (Fe³+) = cyto a (Fe³+) + cyto 6 (Fe²+) b
Why does FAHD2 oxidation give 1.5 ATP while NADH oxidation gives 2.5 ATP? Explain this in relation to ETC.
The metabolic reactions and enzymes that require NAD/NADH are shown in Figure 1. However, it is not specified whether oxidized or reduced NAD is used in each reaction, nor what form of NAD is produced as a product. Add this specificity to the attached figure. You are also welcome to draw your own figure.
