ADP is a
(b)
Interpretation: To indicate whether the biochemical function of
Concept introduction: The sum of various chemical reactions occurring in the human body is called metabolism and the reactions individually are known as metabolic reactions. During these metabolic reactions, the various metabolic intermediates are formed for the short time to complete the reactions.
(c)

Concept introduction: The sum of various chemical reactions occurring in the human body is called metabolism and the reactions individually are known as metabolic reactions. During these metabolic reactions, the various metabolic intermediates are formed for the short time to complete the reactions.
Flavin adenine dinucleotide exists in two forms: oxidized form
(d)
Interpretation: To indicate whether the biochemical function of Coenzyme A molecule involves transfer of (1) phosphate groups, (2) electrons, or (3) acetyl groups.
Concept introduction: The sum of various chemical reactions occurring in the human body is called metabolism and the reactions individually are known as metabolic reactions. During these metabolic reactions, the various metabolic intermediates are formed for the short time to complete the reactions. Coenzyme A is an example of a metabolic intermediate.
Coenzyme A (CoA) is a coenzyme which is utilized in various metabolic reactions. The functions of coenzyme A include oxidation of pyruvate in the citric cycle and fatty acid oxidation.
