|
(Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) a conenzyme present in all cells that helps enzymes transfer electrons during the redox reactions of metabolism.
|
NAD+
|
|
Breaks the fall of electrons to oxygen into several energy-releasing steps instead of one explosive reaction.

Organisms that are able to survive with or without oxygen.
|
Facultative Anaerobes
|
|
A metabolic sequence that breaks fatty acids down to two carbon fragments which enter the Krebs cycle as acetyl coA.
|
Beta Oxidation
