When glucose donates electrons to NAD⁺ creating NADH, the glucose molecule becomes:

Which electron carrier is not matched with its correct function?

An electron carrier before it harvests energy from glucose molecules in a series of gradual steps is:

NADH is commonly used as an electron carrier during the breaking down of complex molecules like glucose in cellular respiration. NADPH is also a common electron carrier. However, NADPH is used to build complex molecules like glucose in a process called:

Oxidation is the _________________________, and reduction is the _________________________.
