Answer

This article might answer the first two questions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coenzyme_Q10.

"Ubi" generally means "where", but I'm not sure how that meaning relates to the compound. In my experience it's commonly pronounced "you-BI" ("ubiquitous"), but sometimes it's "OO-bi" (as in Ubisoft). Oh, and "pronounciate" => "pronounce".
