2. When a molecule of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) gains a hydrogen atom (not a proton), the molecule becomes _____. A) dehydrogenated B) oxidized C) reduced D) redoxed

Respuesta :

Answer:

C) reduced

Explanation:

  • NAD+ is an oxidizing agent which accepts electrons from other molecules and becomes reduced.
  • When NAD+ is reduced, NADH is formed, which can then be used as a reducing agent to donate electrons. The electron transfer reactions are the main function of NAD.
  • NAD+ accepts a hydrogen ion (H+) and two electrons (2eāˆ’), as it becomes reduced to NADH + H+.
