D) It is the final electron acceptor for anaerobic respiration.
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- The role of ( \text{NAD}^+ ) in cellular respiration is to function as an electron carrier. During the process of cellular respiration, ( \text{NAD}^+ ) accepts electrons from other molecules and becomes reduced to ( \text{NADH} ). This ( \text{NADH} ) then carries the electrons to the electron transport chain, where they are used to produce ATP.
