Objective: Explain the general role of vitamins and the source of CO2
and metabolic water in cellular respiration.
| Role of Vitamins: |
structural components of enzymes/coenzymes/electron
carriers |
| Source of CO2: |
decarboxylations |
| Metabolic H2O: |
produced when oxygen picks up electrons (and picks up
protons, ie H+) at the end of electron transport. A smaller amount of
metabolic water is produced during dehydration synthesis. |
