Question
What are the oxidative states of these carriers and molecules?
NAD+
[ Choose ] oxidized reduced
NADH
[ Choose ] oxidized reduced
FAD
[ Choose ] oxidized reduced
FADH2
[ Choose ] oxidized reduced
O2 (compared to water)
[ Choose ] oxidized reduced
glucose (compared to CO2)
[ Choose ] oxidized reduced
Explanation / Answer
NAD+ : oxidized (hydrogen eliminated)
NADH : reduced (hydrogen added)
FAD: oxidized (hydrogen eliminated
FADH2: reduced (hydrogen added)
O2 : oxidized (water is H2O, here H2 is eliminated)
Glucose: reduced (Glucose is C6H12O6, here oxygen and hydrogen both added but more numer of hydrogen are added in comparison to oxygen)
Note: Elimination of hydrogen and addition of oxygen is oxidation while addition of hydrogen and elimination of oxygen is reduction.
