In glycolysis, during oxidation electrons are removed by
(a) ATP
(b) Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
(c) NAD+
(d) Molecular oxygen
Correct option (c) NAD+
Explanation:
When 3-phosphogtyceraldehyde is converted into 1,3 diphosphoglyceric acid, two electrons and two protons are released which are utilised to convert NAD+ to NADH and one H+ NAD+ + 2H+ + 2e →NADH + H+
