Question

If a drug was administered that would impede the binding of NAD+ to electrons what steps of cellular respiration would this substance affect

Answer 1

The correct answer is - not getting all NAD+ so burning more ATP to make up for the energy loss.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the drug was administered and it would cause impedetion of the binding of NAD+ to electrons which causes decrease availability of the NAD+ that leads to less energy formation due to the use up more ATPs in the process of cellular respiration.

If NADH couldn't be formed as NAD+ will not binding, the cells will lose out on ATP produced. It will lead to weight loss due to burning out more ATP to make up for the energy loss.
