Now, which of the following statements correctly describes Coenzyme A? Here we have to select all that apply:
- First, when an Acetyl group is released from Acetyl S CoA, it produces here just our CoA with our thiol group. So, we are removing this Acetyl group here and we replace it with a hydrogen. This is true.
- Vitamin B is present in the active site of our Coenzyme A. No, that's not the active site; it's the Aminoethanethiol portion, the portion that has the SH group that has the high energy bond.
- The primary role of CoA is to oxidize fatty acids. No, that's not its primary role. Its primary role is to carry an Acetyl group to the Krebs Cycle for it to become oxidized and generate energy.
- Coenzyme A is composed of Pantothenic acid, which is vitamin B5, Aminoethanol, and ADP. Yes. These are the three major components of our Coenzyme A.
So here, the only two answers that are true are options A and D.
