Answer:

b. reducing molecules

Explanation:

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (abbreviated NAD +, and also called diphosphopyridine nucleotide and Coenzyme I), is a coenzyme found in all living cells. The compound is a dinucleotide, as it consists of two nucleotides linked through their phosphate groups with a nucleotide that contains an adenosine ring and the other that contains nicotinamide.

In metabolism, NAD + participates in redox reactions (oxidoreduction), carrying electrons from one reaction to another.

Coenzyme, therefore, is found in two forms in cells: NAD + and NADH. NAD +, which is an oxidizing agent, accepts electrons from other molecules and becomes reduced, forming NADH, which can then be used as a reducing agent to donate electrons. These electron transfer reactions are the main function of NAD +. However, it is also used in other cellular processes, especially as a substrate for enzymes that add or remove chemical groups of proteins, in post-translational modifications. Due to the importance of these functions, the enzymes involved in the metabolism of NAD + are targets for drug discovery.

According to Evans-Pritchard, Azande commoners did not accuse chiefs of witchcraft because w<span>itches bewitch people they envy, and chiefs do not envy commoners.
There was no reason for chiefs to envy commoners and be jealous of what they have, because usually they had much more than the commoners. There wasn't much for them to envy, and thus to turn to witchcraft, according to the commoners in these tribes.
