Arrange the four structures in order from most reduced to most oxidized. Most reduced R-CH2-CH3 R-CH2-CH₂-OH R-CH,-CHO R-CH₂-COO Most oxidized

for each pair of biomolecules, identify the type of reaction (oxidation-reduction, hydrolysis, isomerization, group transfer, or nternal rearrangement) required to convert the first molecule to the second. In each case, indicate the general type of enzyme and cofactor(s) c reactants required, and any other products that would result.
