In biochemical reactions,reduction of carbonyl groups is carried out by A)NaBH₄. B)H₂. C)pyruvic acid. D)lactic acid. E)NADH.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reduction of carbonyl groups is typically carried out by NADH, which acts as a cofactor in the reaction. Choices A and B are reagents used in reduction reactions, but they are not specific to carbonyl groups. Pyruvic acid and lactic acid are products of carbonyl reduction, not reagents used in the reaction.
