Chapter 24.7, Problem 13P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The name of coenzyme involved in pyruvate to acetaldehyde conversion should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Glycolysis: It is pathway which describes conversion of one molecule of glucose into 2 $\text{pyruvate}$

molecules. It involves totally 10 set of reactions with it.

Substrate: The molecule where the reaction takes place with help of enzymes.

Coenzyme: They are non-proteins molecules which helps enzymes for catalyzing the reaction.

Enzyme: The proteins that helps chemical reaction to occur.

Oxidation: The oxidation is reaction that involves addition of oxygen atom or loss of electrons or removal of hydrogen atom present in the chemical compound.

Reduction: It involves removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen to the chemical compound.
