Question

How are NADH and FADH2 created?

Answer 1

What is NADH and FADH2?

Answer 2

ask me; try within the context of respiration

Answer 3

Nadh is Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.
Fadh2 flavin adenine dinucleotide

Answer 4

what about them you'd like to know? knowing the full name of the abbreviation will not get you far

Answer 5

I know that the both NADH and FADH 2 are produced in the Krebs Cycle, but how?

Answer 6

Does the electron transport chain produces them?

Answer 7

back track a little bit more into the topic of protein synthesis and metabolism

Answer 8

no the ETC is not what produces them….

Answer 9

Catabolism and anabolism, or oxidation reduction?

Answer 10

ya and then how about protein synthesis?

Answer 11

Dna makes Rna and which then protein is synthesized

Answer 12

after that metabolism takes action

Answer 13

:D you know biology is putting the things you've learned together if there's something you're not understanding, then you've missed something before.

Answer 14

i guess your correct, but my question is, how is NADH and FADH2 is created, from oxidation?

Answer 15

you need FAD and NAD

Answer 16

and a little bit about chemistry, oxidation means…

Answer 17

redox redox redox, you've gone through it yes?

Answer 18

FAD+ carries and is reduced fadh2
NAD+ carries electrons and is reduced to nadh

Answer 19

I think you just answered your own question, kid

Answer 20

i wish kids are more like you :D

Answer 21

Catabolic pathways release energy in redox reactions.

Answer 22

So that's how NADH and FADH2 is created? By NAD+ and FAD+ carrying electrons?

Answer 23

YA YA YA

Answer 24

so, how is NAD+ and FAD+ is created by?

Answer 25

from atp?

Answer 26

or glucose?

Answer 27

glycolysis and b-oxydation

Answer 28

wait what?

Answer 29

what?

Answer 30

these are co-enzymes, right?

Answer 31

yes, they are electron carriers

Answer 32

it is one of the functions of proteins - ENZYMATIC

Answer 33

they pick up and shuttle high energy electrons

Answer 34

Yeah

Answer 35

So, NADH and FADH2 is created from NAD+ and FAD+

Answer 36

coenzymes are organic molecules that are required by certain enzymes to carry out catalysis

Answer 37

we break and remake molecules, that's the bottom line

Answer 38

wow

Answer 39

are you a teacher?

Answer 40

or a student :P

Answer 41

I am just another student

Answer 42

so these coenzymes are created from something?

Answer 43

we keep eating so we can break them into simpler substances or molecules and then recreate them into whatever we need down to cellular level

Answer 44

oh

Answer 45

i get it now

Answer 46

Thanks @nincompoop, you were a great help for me

Answer 47

NO problem, I've got biology books that explain these in details and I always refer back to them when I tend to miss something.

Answer 48

WOW

Answer 49

i wish i'll find more people like you on here

Answer 50

there are quite a few, but not that many would be wiling to go down to the nitty gritty and then continually zoom in and out of complexity and bring about a bigger picture.
