During glycolysis, NAD⁺ picks up a hydrogen atom along with its electron to form

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NAD+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) picks up a hydrogen ion (proton) along with a pair of electrons to form NADH. This process occurs during glycolysis and is important for the production of ATP through cellular respiration. Option A, NADP, is a similar molecule but is not involved in glycolysis. Option B, NADPH, is a similar molecule but is typically involved in anabolic reactions like fatty acid synthesis rather than in glycolysis. Option D, H₂O, is not a molecule involved in glycolysis or cellular respiration.
