Question

Give the names of two co-enzymes that take part in the cellular respiration.

Answer 1

Answer:

A coenzyme present in every living cell is NAD+. ... Another essential coenzyme is FAD which also contributes to the electron transport process. Much of the energy from the TCA cycle in aerobic respiration is used to reduce the coenzymes, thereby giving their electrons higher energy for the electron transport reactions.

Answer 2

The two co-enzymes involved in cellular respiration are: NADH2 {Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide} & FADH2 {Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide}

Explanation for the answer:

• Co-enzymes serve as co-factors in a number of various enzyme catalyzed reactions.
• The important essential chemical components of many coenzymes are vitamins.
• The two co-enzymes involved in cellular respiration:
• NADH2 (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide): It is found in all living cells, NAD is also called a dinucleotide.
• FADH2 (Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide): It is a redox-active coenzyme related to various proteins.
