what is the role of NAD+ in cellular respiration

NAD+ accepts high energy electrons released from glucose during glycolysis and mediates its transport into mitochondria. NADH contributes to oxidation in cell processes like glycolysis to help with the oxidation of glucose. The energy stored in this reduced coenzyme NADH is supplied by the TCA cycle in the process of aerobic cellular respiration and powers the electron transport process in the membranes of mitochondria.

NADH is a crucial coenzyme in making ATP. It exists in two forms in the cell: NAD+ and NADH. ... The molecule acts as a shuttle for electrons during cellular respiration. At various chemical reactions, the NAD+ picks up an electron from glucose, at which point it becomes NADH.Aug 5, 2016
