Document Summary

The electron carriers: are modified nucleotides that act as coenzymes to carry electrons from one reaction to another, readily accept hydrides (h-, 2 electrons and a proton) and donate them. Remember oil oxidation is the loss of electrons, so therefore because nadp+ has a positive charge, it means that it has donated a hydride to a chemical reaction. Nadp+ is readily able to accept a hydride (electron) any time to undergo the transport process again: nadph is the reduced form. Remember rig reduction is the gain of electrons, so therefore because nadph has a neutral charge, it means that it must have picked up a hydride/electron and is transporting it toward a chemical reaction. Nadph is readily able to donate the electron to a chemical reaction if need be. A general overview of how energy is extracted from food by cellular respiration: occurs in three stages, digestion. Breaking down of large macromolecules into simple subunits.
