Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone can help me on the numbers of electrons that the carriers (NAD, FAD, cyochrome c, etc)in the electron transport chain can carry? I remember from taking biochem class that some accept one and some accepts two electrons but I can't remember which is which. I'm also confused because the KA video shows that FAD accepts 2 hydrogens compared to NAD that accepts 1 hydrogen but both are shown to accept 2 electrons so if they are all accepting 2 electons which one accepts only one as I learned in my class? I've looked online but couldn't find the answer that relieves my confusion, so really if you can answer me or provide a link, I would appreciate it.
Thank you!
