D. Vitamin-C and Selenium
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Vitamin C and Selenium are required for Ubiquinone synthesis.Ubiquinone is a crucial component of bacterial bioenergetics. The bacterial pathways to produce ubiquinone are highly diverse.
Ubiquinone is produced in anoxic conditions by a dioxygen-independent pathway. Ubi, mena and plastoquinone biosynthetic pathways are evolutionary related. Chorismate biosynthetic pathway is necessary for the formation of p-aminobenzoic acid ubiquinone, aromatic amino acids, enterochelin and vitamin K.
