Coenzymes are small, organic, non-protein molecules, such as vitamins, that carry chemical groups between enzymes. They are sometimes known as cosubstrates. Coenzymes are substrates for enzymes but are not considered part of an enzyme's structure. Cofactors are non-protein chemical compounds that are bound (either tightly, as in prosthetic groups; or loosely, as in coenzymes) to an enzyme and is required for catalysis. A cofactor can be a coenzyme or a prosthetic group.
acetyl-CoA is the thioester bond between coenzyme A and acetic acid. coenzyme is a cofactor which is a non-protein chemical compound that is bound to a protein (usually an enzyme) and is required for the protein's biological activity.
Co-enzymes are substances for enzymes but are not considered part of an enzyme's structure.
Co-factors are not protein chemical compounds that are bound.

Acetyl coenzyme A is in the mitochondria of the cell.
Acetyl, Coenzyme A, (CoA) (:
A fatty acid that contains 20 carbons will yield 10 molecules of acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is also referred to as acetyl coenzyme A.
Citric acid and Coenzyme ASH (reduced CoA).
What is Coenzyme A?Photosynthetic plants convert light energy into chemical energy. Using their photosynthetic products (ATP, NAD(P)H, and carbon skeleton), plants have unique ability to assimilate soil and atmospheric elements into compounds usable by human and animals. Photosynthesis provides carbon precursors and cofactors for many of the essential plant biosynthetic pathways, of which coenzyme A (CoA) is one of their products.Function of Coenzyme A in PlantsCoenzyme A is a cofactor for 4% of the enzymes in plants. Coenzyme-a is converted into acyl-coenzyme-A (CoA), mainly acetyl-coenzyme-A (CoA), upon reaction with carbohydrate catabolites. Acetyl-coenzyme-A (CoA) is a key substrate in important metabolisms such as citric acid cycle (TCA cycle), fatty acid, some amino acids, flavonoid, wax, isoprenoid, lignin synthesis and storage lipid degradation. These biochemical pathways generate intermediate metabolites that play a role in the adaptation of the plant to changing environmental conditions, defense against pests, nutritional value, pigment and structural component synthesis. Acetyl-coenzyme-a (CoA) also mediates synthesis of secondary metabolites (natural products) of pharmaceutical and industrial significance.
Acetyl coenzyme A is in the mitochondria of the cell.
Acetyl CoA is the compound that enters the Kreb's cycle.
Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA before entering the Krebs cycle.
Acetyl, Coenzyme A, (CoA) (:
Acetyl-CoA: CoA=Co-enzyme A; Coenzyme I, coenzyme II, coenzyme A and B-12 and coenzyme Q.
Not exactly. Acetyl CoA is a coenzyme and participates in the Kreb cycle. It is made from the mitochondria and not from ribosomes, nad usually is a vitamin or mineral.
A fatty acid that contains 20 carbons will yield 10 molecules of acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is also referred to as acetyl coenzyme A.
Citric acid and Coenzyme ASH (reduced CoA).
It splits into a two-carbon acetyl group, which is added to Coenzyme A to make Acetyl-CoA, and a CO2.
Acetyl CoA
Pyruvic acid + CoA + NAD ⟶ Acetyl - COA + CO2 + NADH2
It is true that the compound that joins with a 4-carbon molecule in the krebs cycle is called acetyl-CoA. It is also known as Acetyl coenzyme A.
