What is the difference between NAD+ and NADP+

1.	What is the difference between NAD+ and NADP+
Answer» Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, or\xa0NADP+, is a similar molecule\xa0with a\xa0similar function, differing from\xa0NAD+\xa0in that it contains an additional phosphate group. The oxidized form is\xa0NADP+, while the reduced form is NADPH.\xa0The\xa0function of NAD+\xa0that is\xa0similar to that of NADP+\xa0is that each\xa0NAD+\xa0accepts a pair of high-energy electrons. Describe glycolsis in terms of energy input, energy output, and net gain of ATP. In glycolysis, glucose is converted to molecules of pyruvic acid. ...\xa0NAD\xa0becomes NADH.\xa0The\xa0main role of NAD+\xa0in metabolism is the transfer of electrons from one molecule to another. Reactions of this type are catalyzed by a\xa0large\xa0group of enzymes called oxidoreductases.
