What are coenzymes?

Larger organic cofactors

2
New cards

Name the Coenzymes:

- NAD

- CoA

- FAD

3
New cards

NAD

- Accepts 2 hydrogen atoms with their electrons to become reduced

- Used in glycolysis, the link reaction, the Krebs cycle

- Used in aerobic respiration, anaerobic ethanol, and lactate pathways

4
New cards

CoA

- It carries acetate groups made from pyruvate in the link reaction to the Krebs cycle

- It carries acetate groups made from fatty acids and some amino acids to the Krebs cycle

New cards

FAD

- Accepts 2 hydrogen atoms with their electrons to become reduced

- Used in the Krebs cycle

- Used in aerobic respiration only
