Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of coenzymes in enzymatic reactions?
  • Step 1: Understand that enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in the body.
  • Step 2: Learn that coenzymes are small organic molecules that work with enzymes.
  • Step 3: Know that coenzymes help enzymes by binding to them and assisting in the reaction process.
  • Step 4: Realize that coenzymes can help to change the shape of the enzyme or the substrate, making it easier for the reaction to occur.
  • Step 5: Remember that without coenzymes, some enzymes may not work effectively or at all.
