In the following reaction, which molecule is the reducing agent? glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate + P_i + NAD⁺$\rightarrow$ 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + NADH + H⁺ A) 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate B) NADH C) H⁺ D) glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate E) NAD⁺

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is the reducing agent because it donates electrons to NAD+ during the reaction, resulting in its oxidation to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate and the reduction of NAD+ to NADH.
