Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of NADH in cellular respiration?
  • Step 1: Understand that cellular respiration is the process cells use to convert food into energy.
  • Step 2: Learn that NADH is a molecule that helps in this process by carrying electrons.
  • Step 3: Know that during cellular respiration, glucose is broken down, and electrons are released.
  • Step 4: Realize that NADH picks up these electrons and becomes reduced (gains electrons).
  • Step 5: Understand that NADH then transports these electrons to a part of the cell called the electron transport chain.
  • Step 6: Recognize that in the electron transport chain, the electrons are used to help produce energy in the form of ATP.
