Answer:
NADH and FADH
Explanation:
An oxidizing agent is a chemical substance which has one among the three listed properties.
1. It can accept electrons.
2. It can remove hydrogen.
3. It can add oxygen to the reactant.
NAD+ and FAD+ serve as an oxidizing agent because they not only accept a pair of electron but also remove hydrogen. In this molecule, they have actually taken hydrogen from carbon where OH functional group was present and oxidizing that particular alcohol group to ketone. Please see the image attached.

Vanillin is the common name for 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde.
See attached figure for the structure.
Vanillin have 3 functional groups:
1) aldehyde group: R-HC=O, in which the carbon is double bonded to oxygen
2) phenolic hydroxide group: R-OH, were the hydroxyl group is bounded to a carbon from the benzene ring
3) ether group: R-O-R, were hydrogen is bounded through sigma bonds to carbons
Now for the hybridization we have:
The carbon atoms involved in the benzene ring and the red carbon atom (from the aldehyde group) have a <u>sp²</u> hybridization because they are involved in double bonds.
The carbon atom from the methoxy group (R-O-CH₃) and the blue oxygen's have a <u>sp³</u> hybridization because they are involved only in single bonds.
Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is a weak acid while methylamine (CH3NH2) is a weak base. During an acid base reaction, an acid tends to lose a proton while a base tends to accept a proton. The reaction at equilibrium is as follows:
↔
Hence the species in equilibrium are:
Acetate anion: CH3COO-
Methyl ammonium cation: CH3NH3+
