Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which molecule acts as the electron carrier in glycolysis?
  • Step 1: Understand that glycolysis is a process that breaks down glucose to produce energy.
  • Step 2: Identify that during glycolysis, electrons are transferred from glucose to another molecule.
  • Step 3: Recognize that NAD+ is a molecule that can accept electrons.
  • Step 4: Learn that when NAD+ accepts electrons, it is converted into NADH.
  • Step 5: Conclude that NAD+ is the electron carrier in glycolysis because it helps transport electrons.
