Coenzymes Electrons Involved Respiration Describe Function Required Transfer

NAD and FAD act as coenzymes that accept protons and electrons during respiration, while Coenzyme A transports acetyl groups to the Krebs cycle.

NAD and FAD act as coenzymes that accept protons and electrons during respiration, while Coenzyme A transports acetyl groups to the Krebs cycle.

Front Name 3 coenzymes involved in respiration and describe the function of each.
Back Coenzymes in respiration:
  • Required to transfer protons, electrons and functional groups between enzyme-catalysed reactions
  • NAD & FAD accept protons and electrons released in breakdown of glucose to allow redox
  • Coenzyme A binds with acetyl group for transport to the Krebs cycle
