Where does nad+ deliver electrons compared to fad in cellular respiration?

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The correct answer would be "NADH delivers its electrons to complex I and FADH₂ deliver its electrons to complex II" in cellular respiration.

There are mainly four complexes associated with electron transport chain of cellular respiration.

Complex I or NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase is the complex at which NADH is oxidized to form NAD⁺. The free electrons are transported with the help of ubiquinone.

Complex II or succinate dehydrogenase is the complex associated with oxidation of FADH₂ to FAD⁺. It also transports the free electrons with the help of the ubiquinone pool.

Complex III or cytochrome bc1 complex transport free electrons from ubiquinone to the cytochrome C which is a water-soluble electron carrier.

Complex IV or cytochrome c oxidase transport the free electrons to oxygen to form water.

Chronic dehydration increases a man's risk of developing gallstones. true or false

guajiro [1.7K]

Definitely true for kidney stones. Not sure about gallstones as they are formed I believe from buildup of fatty waste from hypercholesteremia. Less fluid volume in the body could cause these substances to aggregate in the liver/gall bladder instead of being broken down/filtered and flushed out in the bloodstream and GI tract, so I would say true
