Question
Chapter 41, Problem 2TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Essential nutrients are the nutrients that cannot be synthesized by own body but required to carry out the normal physiological functions and must be provided through diet. There are six essential nutrients: carbohydrates, fats, protein, vitamins, minerals, and water. Coenzymes primarily function as helper molecules in enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Most of the coenzymes are vitamins (Vitamins A, C, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, H, and K) or vitamin derivatives (NADH, FADH, Quinine, and CoA).
