Interpretation: The role that coenzymes play in
Concept introduction: Enzymes are present in every living thing. The body naturally produces enzymes. Enzymes are responsible for catalyzing biochemical reactions. The rate at which these biological events occur without enzymes is far too low to support life.
Answer to Problem 92A
An enzyme-catalyzed reaction can only take place in the presence of coenzymes. Vitamin B is one of many coenzymes that are water-soluble vitamins.
Explanation of Solution
A coenzyme is a kind of organic molecule that can bind the active sites of certain enzymes. It plays an important role in metabolism. Coenzymes are required for an enzyme-catalyzed reaction to take place.
Coenzymes can function as an intermediate transporter of electrons during metabolic reactions. They are capable of transferring
