The coenzyme NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) contains three components: ribose, niacin, and phosphate. Ribose is a sugar molecule, Niacin is a vitamin B3 derivative and phosphate is an inorganic molecule. However, deoxyribose, which is a modified form of ribose found in DNA is not present in NAD. Therefore, option 2, Deoxyribose, is the component that is not present in the coenzyme NAD.
