Interpretation: To identify the species that is not a B-vitamin-containing coenzyme required in the common
Concept introduction: Common metabolic pathway is the total sum of metabolic reactions that occur in stage third and fourth of the biochemical process or it is defined as the total sum of reactions that occur in the citric acid cycle and electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation.
These stages are included in the common metabolic pathway because the reactions in these stages are the same for different kinds of food.
The citric acid cycle is the third stage of the biochemical energy production process. The cycle includes the reactions in which the acetyl part of acetyl CoA is oxidized and leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and
Electron transport chain is a sequence of biochemical reactions in which electrons and hydrogen atoms from the citric acid cycle are transferred to various intermediate carriers and finally reacts with molecular oxygen to form a water molecule.
The B-vitamins consist of a group of vitamins that are water soluble and acts as precursors for enzyme cofactors.

- Find the appropriate condition (A is incorrect answer)arrow_forwardO Macmillan Learning Incorrect Answer Choose all the true statements about oxidative phosphorylation. Oxidative phosphorylation and the electron transport chain are called coupled reactions. Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria. Oxidative phosphorylation is an aerobic process. The oxidation of NADH provides enough energy to produce two ATP molecules. The oxidation of FADH, provides enough energy to produce two ATP molecules. Macmillan Learning Feedback Sorry, that's incorrect. There are three correct answers. Determine the product of oxidative phosphorylation. Consider where this process gets the energy needed to run this reaction.arrow_forward15.7) Determine whether each of the following changes is an oxidation or reduction. a) gain of electrons reduction b) loss of electrons oxidation c) Fe²+ to Fe³+ oxidation d) NADH to NAD+ oxidation lost bond to hydrogen atom e) FAD to FADH₂ reduction gained bond to hydrogen atom f) CH4 to CO₂ oxidation gained bonds to oxygen atoms and lost bonds to hydrogen atoms g) NAD+ to NADH reduction gained bond to hydrogen atom EXPLANATION: A useful mnemonic to differentiate oxidation and reduction is the term "OILRIG" (Oxidation is the Loss of electrons; Reduction is the Gain of electrons). It is possible to identify redox reactions for inorganic compounds by inspecting the chemical equation and determining if electrons are transferred from one species to another. If the charge of an atom or ion in a reactant was increased (toward positive) in the conversion of reactants to products, an oxidation occurred. If the charge of an atom or ion in a reactant was decreased (toward negative) in the…arrow_forward
