The reduced forms of the electron carriers NAD⁺/NADH and FADH/FADH₂ have high potential energy.
NAD is coenzyme called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.
FADH is redox cofactor called flavin adenine dinucleotide.
Reduced forms of NAD and FAD are reducing agents and they donate electrons in living cells.

- NAD& FAD used to donate electrons as a reducing agent, they receive electrons from other molecules and then became reduced.

-FAD is called flow in adenine dinucleotide, it is a redox cofactor and it is in many important enzymatic reactions in metabolism.
