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.
Energy is used to break down glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
Answer:
Iodine
Explanation:
Iodine is needed by animals because the body's metabolic rate is controlled by the action of an iodine hormone, called thyroxine, which is secreted by the thyroid gland in the neck.
If the animal fails to supply enough iodine through food to be able to make a normal amount of this compound, then the thyroid gland enlarges or expands trying to create enough, resulting in a common type of goiter.
Answer:
Option (I) and (IV).
Explanation:
Fatty acids may be defined as the carboxylic acid that contains the long aliphatic chain. Fats are generally of two types - saturated fatty acid and unsaturated fatty acid.
The fatty acids are generally synthesized in the two carbon units. This helps in the proper synthesis of fat. The fatty acids that are most common in plants and animals are palmittic acid or the fats that contain C16 and C18 species predominate.
Thus, the correct answer is option (I) and (IV).
Clouds can block light and heat from the Sun, making Earth's temperature cooler. You've probably noticed this kind of cooldown on a cloudy day. However, some heat from the Sun does get down to Earth. Clouds can trap that heat from the Sun.
