k Coenzyme Q. Computer graphic of the molecule of coenzyme Q or ubiquinone. The green spheres represent carbon, the red spheres are oxygen and the white spheres are hydrogen. Ubiquinones are present in mitochondria, the power stations of cells. They form part of the cells electron transfer chain, a process by which oxygen atoms are given electrons reduced. This releases energy to produce adenosine triphosphate ATP. ATP acts like a battery, storing energy in its chemical bonds. Coenzymes are lowweight, non protein organic molecules that are necessary for the activity of enzymes. Editorial Stock Photo - Afloimages
