Coenzymes
Coenzymes are small organic molecules that, themselves, do not function as catalysts (i.e. enzymes) but aid the latter in carrying out their functions. Enzymes are biological catalysts, which means that they allow reactions to occur at lower activation energies. In a way, enzymes help to "speed up" chemical reactions.
Coenzymes are mostly derived from vitamins. Examples include TPP from Vitamin B1 (thiamine), FAD from Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), and NAD+ from Niacin.
Eukaryotes are the<span> type of cells that typically do not contain cilia or a flagella.
The ones that do are called prokaryotes.</span>
It's not alive, nor is it even an organic compound.
- It cannot respond to stimuli (Responsiveness)
- It cannot secrete hormones (Secretion)
- It cannot send messages along a nervous system or anything similar (Conductivity)
- It cannot break down compounds to usable energy forms (Digestion)
- It cannot absorb broken down compounds as an energy source (Absorption)
- It cannot reproduce (Reproduction)
- It cannot grow--it has no cells (Growth)
- It cannot exchange gases between cells (Respiration)
- It cannot rid itself of waste material (Excretion)
