Coenzymes are organic molecules that assist enzymes in catalyzing biochemical reactions, often by acting as carriers for specific atoms or functional groups. While coenzymes themselves do not "attract" hydrogen, they can facilitate the transfer of hydrogen atoms during reactions. For example, coenzymes like NAD+ and FAD play crucial roles in oxidation-reduction reactions by accepting and donating hydrogen atoms. Thus, they are essential for various metabolic processes, including cellular respiration.
