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

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.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

This statement is not correct because the Na+ equilibrium potential remains the same, it is only depends on concentration gradient.

Explanation:

Na+ influx will increase, but Na+ equilibrium potential will not change because the concentration of K+ ions are high inside the membrane and that of Na+ ions are high too outside the membrane. Membrane potential will be generated that helps in the diffusion of the ions through the pore in both in and outside of the cell. When the concentration of Na+ ions increase, Na+ ions diffuse from outside to the inside of the cell therefore increase the influx

Sati [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a process which occurs in the all living cell all the time. It is an oxidative process by which respiratory substrate such as glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is oxidised completely in presence of oxygen(O₂) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂), water and energy in the from of ATP. ATP is is the energy currency of the cell. The process of cellular respiration begins in cytoplasm and completes in the mitochondria of the cell.  

The overall reaction of respiration is given below:  

         C₆H₁₂O₆+ 6O₂ → 6CO₂+ 6H₂O + Energy (ATP)
