(Biochemistry Topic: Electron Transport)  Hypotheically, there is an animal which has the reductant DUFFH. It carries 3 electrons per molecule, and DUFF+ replaces NAD+ during metabolism. The animal has the same electron carriers as humans.  How much energy (KJ) is produced for the complete oxidation of 1 mol of pyruvate under aerobic conditions in humans? What about for this animal?
