Question
a product that donates electrons to the electron transport chain
sucrose
acetic acid
nad+
starch
nadh
glucose
atp
pyruvic acid
In cellular respiration, NADH is an electron - carrier molecule that donates electrons to the electron transport chain. Sucrose, starch, and glucose are carbohydrates that are broken down to generate energy - related molecules like NADH but they don't directly donate electrons to the electron transport chain. Acetic acid and pyruvic acid are also intermediates in metabolic pathways but not direct electron donors to the electron transport chain. ATP is the energy - currency molecule, not an electron donor to the electron transport chain. NAD+ is the oxidized form of NADH and does not donate electrons in this context.
