Which is an electron carrier?
A
NADPH
B
ETC
C
Glucose
D
Lactic Acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -NADP is an electron carrier. It stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate. NADP works with numerous enzymes to supply energy to the numerous processes in a cell. It accepts electrons and gets reduced to NADPH.

Detailed explanation-2: -NADH: High energy electron carrier used to transport electrons generated in Glycolysis and Krebs Cycle to the Electron Transport Chain. FADH2: High energy electron carrier used to transport electrons generated in Glycolysis and Krebs Cycle to the Electron Transport Chain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because NADH and NADPH are electron carriers, it is important to recognise both reduced and oxidised forms. Given the reduced forms of NADH and NADPH shown above, draw the oxidised forms, and show where the :H-is incorporated in the molecule in the reduced form.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an example of electron carrier. It carries electrons in redox reactions within the cells.
