What are the coenzyme forms of riboflavin and pantothenic acid?
The active forms of Riboflavin (B2) are FAD and FMN.The active form of Pantothenic acid (B5) is Coenzyme A.
What is the coenzyme derived from pantothenic acid?
Pantothenic acid is converted into its active form Coenzyme A.
What is the difference between a coenzyme and an apoenzyme?
A coenzyme is a non-protein organic molecule that is required for the activity of an enzyme, while an apoenzyme is the protein component of an enzyme without its cofactor or coenzyme. Together, a coenzyme and an apoenzyme form a holoenzyme that is fully functional.
How vitamins metabolize by the body?
Vitamin A: The yellow and green pigments found in vegetables are called carotenes which are pro vitamins and are converted into Vitamin A. The role of vitamin A in Vision has already been discussed in a previous page. Vitamin B2 is better known as riboflavin and is widely distributed in many foods. Riboflavin is used to form a coenzyme FAD important in the utilization of oxygen in the cells. Niacin, also known as nicotinic acid, is also in the B complex of vitamins. Nicotinic acid was first obtained from the alkaloid nicotine in tobacco and was later found in many plant and animal tissues as niacin. Nicotinamide is a part of the important coenzyme, Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD). This NAD+ coenzyme is important during biological oxidations and is discussed in detail in a later page. Pantothenic Acid is art of the structure of coenzyme A.
What is the role of coenzyme a in a cell?
It converts acetic acid to a form that can enter the mitochondria.
What do you know the word aboenzyme?

Is a coenzyme?
A nonprotein compound that combines with an inactive enzyme to form an active enzyme system.
The COA part of acetyl COA is a coenzyme that comes from the B vitamin?
Niacin or Vitamin B3, seeing as though it catalyzes redox reactions related to energy metabolism, which would ultimately lead to the citric acid cycle, or Krebs, which through it needs to form into Acetyl-CoA.
What are two water-soluble vitamins in the bodyand what are their functions?

What is the plural form of functions?

What is the main function of the vitamin or mineral to you in niacin?
it serves as coenzyme for many enzymes in the form of NAD,NADP,NADPH..............
What is pyrodoxal phosphate?
It is the active form of vitamin B6. It acts as a coenzyme in enzymatic reactions, e.g. transamination and deamination reactions.
