Glycolysis is a series of chemical reactions (endergonic and exergonic) by which the cell can obtain ATP. NAD⁺ plays a crucial role in the reactions of glycolysis by:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NAD⁺ plays a crucial role in accepting electrons from glucose, which results in the partial oxidation of glucose to pyruvate, a key step in glycolysis. This process generates energy, which is harnessed to produce ATP, but NAD⁺ itself is not directly involved in the synthesis of ATP.
