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 role do B vitamins play in the human body?
There is no single Vitamin B. It is divided into many other vitamins, all of which form the group called the B vitamins. Vitamin B12-brain development, and DNA synthesis for cell regeneration Niacin- skin, nervous system, and mental performance Folic acid-Red blood cell formation, metabolizes fats, amino acids, protein synthesis Vitamin B2-skin, eyes and energy Vitamin B1- functioning of nervous system, appetite, and energy biotin- for hair growth and protein synthesis pantothenic acid- functioning of various glands in the body Vitamin B6- helps metabolize fat and protein and is needed to make red blood cells Interesting fact: Vitamin B12 is the one that is most missing in vegan diets, because it is mostly found in animal sources. However, foods like tofu, tempeh, and Seitan provide B12.
What part of our hair is the only living part?
The only part of our hair that is living is the part that is inside our heads. Once the hair comes out it is no longer considered living anymore.
What is ACh receptors?
ACH receptors can be defined as an integral membrane protein that responds to the binding of acetylcholine, a neuoyansmitter. Two example are nicotinic acetyl line receptors and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. .
Which part of the embryo comes out first during seed germination?
it's the root
What is the name given to the part of an enzyme where the substrate comes into contact it?
The active site
What is the molecule Acetyl coenzyme A a part of?
The metabolism process
What are some examples of cofactors?
Cofactor or generally called co-enzymes which attaches with the enzymes and help in the reaction . For ex. succinyl-CoA, Acetyl-CoA.
What is the difference between acetyl CoA and coenzyme A?
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.
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 vitamins forms a part of coenzyme A?
pantothenic acid
What metabolites enter the citric acid cycle and is formed in part by the removal of a carbon from one molecule of pyruvate?
Acetyl CoA
How many ATP are generated in each part of the cellular respiration?
Stage 1: Glycolysis- 2 ATP Stage 2: Formation of acetyl coenzyme A- NONE Stage 3: Krebs cycle- 2 ATP Stage 4: Electron transport system- 32 ATP
What is an aceticoceptor?
An aceticoceptor is a part of a molecule which acts as a receptor for acetyl groups.
What part of speech is the word vitamin?
Vitamin is a noun.
Where is CoQ found in cells?
Coenzyme Q is found in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion and plays a key role in oxidative phosphorylation during cellular respiration. NADH releases electrons which are transferred to coenzyme Q via NADH dehydrogenase. Coenzyme Q then carries the electrons to the cytochrome bc1 complex. Electrons are also transferred to coenzyme Q by FADH2. The electrons are then brought to the cytochrome bc1 complex like before. This process of transferring electrons is known as the electron transport chain and is ultimately a part of oxidative phosphorylation which is the formation of ATP from ADP and an inorganic phosphate.
Why must a vitamin be part of the diet?
In a large amount
What part of the body uses Vitamin a?
ratina in eye
