Correct Option: B
Pantothenic acid, also called pantothenate or vitamin B5, is a water-soluble vitamin. Pantothenic acid is used in the synthesis of coenzyme A (CoA). CoA is also important in the biosynthesis of many important compounds such as fatty acids, cholesterol, and acetylcholine.
Riboflavin is a water-soluble B vitamin, also known as vitamin B2. In the body, riboflavin is primarily found as an integral component of the coenzymes, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN). FAD is part of the electron transport (respiratory) chain, which is central to energy production.
Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin and is part of the vitamin B complex group. Several forms of the vitamin are known, but pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) is the active form and is a cofactor in many reactions of amino acid metabolism, including transamination, deamination, and decarboxylation.
Folic acid is a B vitamin. It helps the body make healthy new cells. Transfer of 1-C units is important for many biosynthetic reactions. To carry out the transfer of 1-carbon units, NADPH must reduce folic acid two times in the cell.
