Interpretation: To determine B-vitamin-containing coenzymes that are needed in the conversion of pyruvate to
Concept introduction: Vitamins are defined as the micronutrients that are needed in the small amount for the proper functioning of the metabolic activities in the organisms.B vitamins function as coenzymes in the metabolic reactions and are involved in glycolysis, glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, and conversion of pyruvate to lactate and
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.
Pyruvate is the end product in the glycolysis. The production of the fate of pyruvate varies with the nature of the organism and the cellular conditions. Pyruvate is converted to

- Problems: 1. Suggest a synthesis of amine (20), needed to study 135 whether cyclisation would occur during bromination of the double bond. NH2 (20)arrow_forwardDon't USE AIarrow_forwardShow the full mechanism of how the molecule ((1E, 3E, 5E)-1-methoxyhepta-1,3,5-triene) is built using substitution and elimination reactions. You can start with an alkane of any carbon length with any number of leaving groups attached or with a alkoxide of any carbon length (conjugate base of an alcohol). Show each step and and explanation for each reaction. Also include why the reagents and solvents were picked and what other products can be expected.arrow_forward
