NAD and FAD work by loading and unloading _________ and _________ during energy transfers.

Biology

Answer:

Hydrogen and electrons

Explanation:

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) serve as reducing power during energy transfers. One NAD+ accepts one hydrogen ions and two electrons and becomes reduced into NADH. Likewise, FAD accepts two hydrogen ions and two electrons and is reduced into FADH2. Oxidation of NADH and FADH2 into NAD+ and FAD respectively releases both hydrogen ions and electrons.  

For example, some of the energy of glucose released during glycolysis and Kreb's cycle is temporarily stored in the form of NADH and FADH2. Oxidation of NADH and FADH2 via electron transfer chain of mitochondria releases both electrons and hydrogen ions (protons). The protons are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane to generate the proton concentration gradient.

enot [183]

Answer:

Option C, he lost both sensory and short-term memory

Explanation:

Sensory memory is basically the information received by the five sense organs and also the instruction given by brain to the respective sense organ.  

This sensory memory keeps  storing and is collectively referred to as short term memory.  

Since Chuck Wildlee was unable to remember how many balls and strikes the batter had. In past he would have perceived this information through eyes which should have been part of sensory memory and later the part of short term memory.  

Thus, it can be said that Chuck Wildlee lost both his sensory memory and short term memory  

Hence, option C is correct
