(a)
Interpretation: To determine the number of phosphate groups present in NADH coenzyme.
Concept introduction: Coenzymes are non-protein organic compounds that are used along with the enzymes and help to carry forward the reaction. Coenzymes cannot perform on their own alone.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is associated with the
A phosphate group is characterized by a phosphorous atom bonded to four oxygen atoms through three single bonds and one double bond. The chemical formula of the phosphate group is
