Nathaniel Sellers · Answer 1

Just NADP+.

Explanation:

Two main type of biochemical reaction are anabolic reaction and catabolic reaction. Anabolic reactions joins the small molecules to form the large products.

The electron carrier may be defined as the molecule that has the ability to transport the electron from one molecule to the other molecule. NADP + acts as electron carrier in the synthesis of molecule especially in the cholesterol metabolism. NAD + acts as electron carrier in the catabolic reactions.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
