The _____ forms of the electron carriers NAD⁺/NADH and FADH/FADH₂ have high potential energy.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reduced forms of the electron carriers NADH and FADH2 have high potential energy because they have gained electrons and are in a more reduced state. The oxidized forms, NAD+ and FAD, have lower potential energy because they have lost electrons and are in a more oxidized state. Phosphorylation and carboxylation are not directly related to the potential energy of electron carriers.
