A new drug a doctor invented can prevent NAD + in bacteria cells from picking up electrons that has been invented. what effect would this new drug have on glycolysis?

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The new drug would inhibit glycolysis in bacterial cells. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Glycolysis requires NAD+ to accept electrons during the conversion of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ If NAD+ cannot pick up electrons, this step in glycolysis is halted, preventing the production of ATP and pyruvate. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ NAD+ is essential for glycolysis as it acts as an electron carrier. ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Without NAD+, glycolysis cannot proceed, leading to a cessation of ATP production and an accumulation of intermediate metabolites. ⚹◊How would the prevention of NAD+ in bacterial cells from picking up electrons affect glycolysis in terms of ATP production?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
