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

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NAD⁺ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme that plays a critical role in cellular respiration by carrying electrons from the food we eat to the electron transport chain. NAD⁺ accepts two high-energy electrons and a hydrogen ion (H⁺) to become NADH, which subsequently donates these electrons and H⁺ ions to the electron transport chain. Therefore, NAD⁺ collects the majority of the electrons from the food we eat during cellular respiration. Choices A, B, D, and E are not as directly involved in this process.
