Detailed explanation-1: -Biotin (water-soluble vitamin) is required as a coenzyme in the citric acid cycle and in lipid metabolism. It is also required as an enzyme in the synthesis of glucose, fatty acids, and some nonessential amino acids and carries carbon dioxide (CO2) away from the citric acid cycle (TCA cycle).
Detailed explanation-2: -All of the water-soluble vitamins and two of the fat-soluble vitamins, A and K, function as cofactors or coenzymes. Coenzymes participate in numerous biochemical reactions involving energy release or catabolism, as well as the accompanying anabolic reactions (Figure 1).
Detailed explanation-3: -Summary. Pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5, is essential to all forms of life (1). Pantothenic acid is found throughout all branches of life in the form of coenzyme A, a vital coenzyme in numerous chemical reactions (2).
Detailed explanation-4: -Riboflavin (B2) Riboflavin is an essential component of flavoproteins, which are coenzymes involved in many metabolic pathways of carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism.
