Coenzyme A, NAD+, and FAD are coenzymes that are necessary for energy production. Classify each statement as describing coenzyme A, NAD+, or FAD. Coenzyme A NAD+ FAD Answer Bank derived from the vitamin nicotinamide derived from the vitamin riboflavin (B$_2$) forms part of acetyl-SCoA, which is part of the citric acid cycle accepts two electrons and one proton when it is reduced

A newly discovered compound called coenzyme U is isolated from mitochondria. Several lines of evidence are presented advancing the claim that coenzyme U is a previously unrecognized carrier in the electron transport chain. A series of experiments has been performed to determine where in the electron transport chain coenzyme U sits. Which of the following is the most convincing evidence that coenzyme U is part of the electron transport chain? a. When added to a mitochondrial suspension, coenzyme U is readily taken up by mitochondria. b. Removal of coenzyme U from mitochondria results in a decreased rate of oxygen consumption. c. Addition of NADH with coenzyme U to a mitochondrial suspension caused rapid reduction of coenzyme U. d. The rate of oxidation and reduction of coenzyme U in mitochondria is the same as the overall rate of electron transport. e. All other known coenzymes are part of the electron transport chain, so coenzyme U must be, too.
