The ability and capacity of coenzymes to become oxidized or reduced (reduction potential)may be found by
A)measuring the flow of zinc and copper electrons.
B)measuring the flow of electrons when compared to hydrogen gas at standard conditions.
C)measuring the number of H atoms present.
D)All of the above.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reduction potential of coenzymes can be found by measuring their ability to accept or donate electrons when compared to hydrogen gas at standard conditions. This is because hydrogen gas is often used as a reference for measuring reduction potential. Choice A is incorrect because it refers to measuring the flow of electrons between zinc and copper, which is not relevant to determining the reduction potential of coenzymes. Choice C is incorrect because the number of hydrogen atoms present is also not directly relevant to the reduction potential of coenzymes.
