Help filling in the blanks:

 

Folic acid is a [1/2/3] carbon carrier that can carry the carbon(s) in multiple oxidation states. S-adenosyl methionine is exclusively a [carboxyl/methyl/formyl] carrier.

[TPP/NAD+/FAD/CoA] is a cofactor used to decarboxylate a-keto acids. [TPP/NAD+/FAD/CoA] activates acyl groups for transfer to other organic molecules. [TPP/NAD+/FAD/CoA] is capable of forming double bonds between carbons or disulfide bridges because it can carry electrons singly. [TPP/NAD+/FAD/CoA] on the other hand is better at oxidizing alcohols to ketones because it takes a hydride ion from a donor molecule.
