Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of electron carriers in organic chemistry. Electron carriers are molecules that transport electrons during cellular respiration and other metabolic processes.
Identify the common electron carriers in organic chemistry. NADH (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a well-known electron carrier that plays a crucial role in transferring electrons in metabolic reactions.
Examine the structure and function of NADH. NADH is derived from NAD⁺, and it carries electrons by accepting a hydride ion (H⁻), which consists of two electrons and a proton.
Compare the given molecules: Glucose, Water, ATP, and NADH. Glucose is a sugar used for energy, Water is a solvent, and ATP is an energy carrier, but none of these act as electron carriers like NADH.
Conclude that NADH is the molecule that acts as an electron carrier among the options provided, due to its ability to accept and donate electrons during metabolic processes.
