Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) and NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) are coenzymes that act as hydrogen carriers in biochemical reactions. They are involved in redox reactions in cells, which involve the transfer of electrons (and hydrogen ions) from one molecule to another. FAD and NAD accept hydrogen ions (H+) and electrons (e-) from other molecules and then donate them to enzymes that require them for catalysis. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

FAD and NAD Are Coenzymes That Act as _______ in Biochemical
