Question

how is nadh recycled (to nad+) in aerobic conditions?
by forming lactic acid
by donating electrons to the electron transport chain
by removing electrons from substrates in the citric acid cycle
need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In aerobic conditions, NADH donates electrons to the electron - transport chain. As electrons move through the chain, protons are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane, and ATP is generated. This process also regenerates NAD⁺ from NADH. Forming lactic acid occurs in anaerobic conditions. Removing electrons from substrates in the citric acid cycle generates NADH, not recycle it to NAD⁺.

Answer:

By donating electrons to the electron transport chain
