Molecules like NAD+ and FAD serve as primary "electron shuttles," picking up electrons from metabolic pathways and dropping them off at the electron transport chain.
In cellular respiration, glucose is oxidized, and oxygen is reduced to water, a process that releases energy utilized to synthesize ATP. Electrochemical Processes in Biological Systems...
Biological electrochemistry is rooted in reactions, where electrons are transferred from an electron donor (reducing agent) to an acceptor (oxidizing agent). Molecules like NAD+ and FAD serve as primary
