During cellular respiration, what molecule collects the majority of the electrons from the food that we eat?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During cellular respiration, NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) accepts a hydrogen ion (H+) and two electrons (e-) to become NADH, which is the molecule that collects the majority of the electrons from the food we eat. FAD+ (flavin adenine dinucleotide) also accepts electrons during cellular respiration, but it is a minority carrier compared to NAD+. Glucose and ATP are not molecules that collect electrons during cellular respiration. The first option is gibberish and does not exist in biology.
