Which of the statements below is correct for the reaction NADH + FMN + H+ --- NAD+ + FMNH2

Question

Which of the statements below is correct for the reaction NADH + FMN + H+ ---> NAD+ + FMNH2

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction involves the transfer of a hydride ion (H-) from NADH to FMN, resulting in the oxidation of NADH to NAD+ and reduction of FMN to FMNH2. Therefore, NADH is the electron donor and FMN is the oxidizing agent. So, option A and D are incorrect. Also, since FMN is being reduced, it cannot be the electron acceptor (options C is incorrect). Finally, NAD+ is being formed, which means that it accepts an electron (and a proton) to become reduced, so it is the electron acceptor, not the oxidant (option B is incorrect).
