Question

An example of a strong _____ agent important in biochemistry is _____. The redox potential for this molecule is _____. Please choose the correct answer from the following choices
a. oxidizing; O2;
b. negative reducing; NADH;
c. positive oxidizing; NADH;
d. positive reducing; O2;
e. negative reducing; NADH;

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B - reducing; NADH; negative

explanation:

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NADH, is a compound, that's more actively used in the transportation of electron chain. It's evident that produced and make use NADH than FADH2 in the process that brings about energy creation.

NADH carries electrons from one reaction to another. Its Cofactor is in two forms in cells: NAD+ accepts electron from other molecule and hence reduced as an oxidizing agent while NADH is formed by this reaction, which can be used to donate electrons because it's a reducing agent. The main function of NAD is to transfer these reactions.
