Concept explainers
To identify:
Whether NADH is oxidized or reduced form.
Introduction:
To identify:
Whether FAD is oxidized or reduced form.
Introduction:
Cellular respiration is a set of reactions which take place in the cell of living organisms to convert biochemical energy into ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Glycolysis is the first step and is a common pathway in aerobic and anaerobic organisms. The products of glycolysis in presence of oxygen enter citric acid cycle. NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and FADH2 (dihydroflavin adenine dinucleotide) produced during glycolysis and citric acid cycle are oxidized in electron transport chain.
