What is the essential chemical component of many co-enzymes?
Options
- AProteins.
- BMetal ions.
- CVitamins.
- DOrganic compounds.
Correct answer
C. Vitamins.
Step-by-step solution
Co-enzymes are also organic compounds but their association with the apoenzyme is only transient, usually occurring during the course of catalysis. Furthermore, co-enzymes serve as co-factors in a number of different enzyme catalyzed reactions.The essential chemical components of many coenzymes are vitamins, e.g., coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and NADP contain the vitamin niacin.
