Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which molecule isn’t an energy carrier?
A
FADH2
B
NADH
C
oxygen
D
ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Oxygen Is the High-Energy Molecule Powering Complex Multicellular Life: Fundamental Corrections to Traditional Bioenergetics.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fermentation. Some organisms are able to continually convert energy without the presence of oxygen. They undergo glycolysis, followed by the anaerobic process of fermentation to make ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adenosine 5’-triphosphate, or ATP, is the most abundant energy carrier molecule in cells. This molecule is made of a nitrogen base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups.

Detailed explanation-4: -The energy carriers for cellular respiration are NADH and ATP. The ATP molecules are the final product in the Electron Transport Chain, which are considered as high-energy molecules. The molecule NADH is also an energy carrier but the NADH molecules are converted to ATP at the Electron Transport Chain.
