NADH transfers electrons to oxygen during ____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NADH transfers electrons to the electron transport chain during electron transfer phosphorylation, which ultimately leads to the transfer of electrons to oxygen to form water. Glycolysis, acetyl-CoA formation, and the citric acid cycle all generate NADH, but the transfer of electrons to oxygen for energy generation occurs specifically during electron transfer phosphorylation. Substrate-level phosphorylation refers to the direct transfer of a phosphate group to ADP to form ATP during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle and is not directly associated with NADH.
