Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pantothenic acid is the vitamin that is a component of coenzyme A. Coenzyme A is involved in acyl transfer reactions, which is the transfer of an acyl group (a molecule that contains a carbonyl group attached to an alkyl or aryl group) from one molecule to another. Carboxylation refers to the addition of a carboxyl group (COOH) to a molecule, which is not directly related to the function of coenzyme A. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
