Read the following Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option. Assertion: Prosthetic groups are organic compounds and are distinguished from other cofactors in that they are tightly bound to the apoenzyme. Reason: For example, in peroxidase and catalase, which catalyse the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.
