(a)
Interpretation:
The coenzyme transfers an acyl group from one substrate to another should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Cofactors that are organic molecule are called coenzymes;
Coenzymes are derived from Vitamins which are substance needed in small amounts for normal body function that the body cannot synthesize in adequate amounts.
Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) is the coenzyme required by enzymes that catalyse the transfer of an acyl group.

- At 90ºC the vapor pressure of ortho-xylene is 20 kPa and that of meta-xylene is 18 kPa. What is the composition of the vapor in equilibrium with a mixture in which the mole fraction of o-xylene is 0.60?arrow_forwardDraw the products of this reduction of a ketone with sodium borohydride. Use a dash or wedge bond to indicate the stereochemistry of substituents on asymmetric centers, where applicableIgnore any inorganic byproducts. 1) NaBH4 2) HCI/H2O Select to Drawarrow_forwardWhy do you think people who live at high altitudes are advised to add salt to water when boiling food like pasta? What mole fraction of NaCl is needed to raise the boiling point of H2O by 3˚C? Does the amount of salt added to water (typically about one teaspoon to four quarts of water) substantially change the boiling point? (Kb (H2O) = 0.51˚C/molal.)arrow_forward
