Question

what is the function of nad⁺ in glycolysis? to form nadph to move h⁺ ions around to use atp to split glucose

Explanation:

In glycolysis, NAD⁺ acts as an electron (and H⁺) carrier. It accepts electrons and a hydrogen ion from glucose-derived molecules, getting reduced to NADH. This process effectively moves H⁺ (along with electrons) to be used later in cellular respiration. The other options are incorrect: NAD⁺ forms NADH (not NADPH) in glycolysis; it does not use ATP, nor does it split glucose directly.

Answer:

B. to move H⁺ ions around
