Explain the roles of NAD and FAD in respiration using evidence from each question and mark scheme.
Many factors affect the rate of cellular respiration.
Coenzymes are important in aerobic respiration.
Outline the roles of named coenzymes in aerobic respiration.
any five from:
coenzyme A:
1 accepts / binds to / transfers, acetyl (group) ;
2 acetyl / 2C fragment, + oxaloacetate → citrate ;
3 (joins) link reaction and Krebs cycle ;
NAD / FAD:
4 transfer / transport / carry / accept / reduced by, H+and e−/ H (atoms) / hydrogen (atoms) ;
5 ref. dehydrogenation (reactions)/ dehydrogenase (enzymes) ;
6 transport, to cristae / to inner mitochondrial membrane / to ETC / for oxidative phosphorylation ;
7 NAD (accepts H) in glycolysis and link reaction and Krebs cycle ;
