Chapter 23.1, Problem 2P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product of given reaction should be determined.

Concept introduction:

• ${\text{NAD}}^{\text{+}}$ and $\text{NADH}$ are the coenzymes associated with catabolic reactions- biological reactions that break down complex bio molecules in order to provide the cell with energy.
• Catabolic reactions are predominately oxidation reaction.
• ${\text{NAD}}^{\text{+}}$ is the most common oxidizing agent in cells.
• ${\text{NAD}}^{\text{+}}$ and $\text{NADPH}$ are the coenzymes associated with Anabolic reactions- biological reactions involved in synthesizing complex bio molecules.
• Anabolic reactions are predominantly reduction.
• Catabolic reactions are predominately oxidation reaction.
• $\text{NADPH}$ is the most common reducing agent in cells.
• $\text{FAD}$ Catalyses oxidation reaction; it is reducing to ${\text{FADH}}_2$.
