Question

describe ATP, NADH, FADH2, and NADPH

Answer 1

ATP- ATP stands from Adenosine triphosphate. It is energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things. The most important function of ATP is that it can store energy that has been released from chemical reaction, and it can also release energy when some activity needed like muscles activity. Water is used to break the phosphate bond and releases the stored energy.

NADH- It stands from Nicotinamide Adenine dinucleotide. It is a molecule which is used to transport energy in the form of hydrogen. It is a reducing agent. It is used to improve mental clarity, congratulation, athletic performance, memory. NADH molecule produces 3 ATP molecules during oxidative phosphorylation.

FADH2- Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide. FADH2 molecule produces 2 ATP molecules. FADH2 transfers electrons to Cytochrome complex II.FADH2 are used to generate the ATP at the electron transport chain and other biochemical reactions. It is used to donate elecron to the electron transport chain. It also produced in kerbs Cycle.

NADPH- Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide phosphate. It is an energy molecule. It is used to donate electrons and a hydrogens to reactions catalyzed by some enzymes., It also helps in carry electrons and protons by sunlight into new carbon bonds, to create sugar molecules. It occurs in the second stage of the process of photosynthesis.
