Question
what is the function of nad+ in glycolysis?
to split glucose
to form nadph
to use atp
to move h+ ions around
Brief Explanations
In glycolysis, NAD⁺ acts as an electron - carrier. It accepts electrons and hydrogen ions (H⁺) to become NADH. This process helps in moving H⁺ ions around during the metabolic reactions of glycolysis. It is not involved in splitting glucose, forming NADPH (which is in other pathways like the pentose - phosphate pathway), or using ATP directly.
