- Dapoenzyme.
Correct answer
B. coenzyme
Step-by-step solution
Coenzyme is an organic non-protein molecule that associates with an enzyme molecule in catalysing biochemical reactions. It usually participates in the substrate-enzyme interaction by donating or accepting certain chemical groups. Holoenzyme is a complex comprising of enzyme molecule and its cofactor. The enzyme is catalytically active in this state. Apoenzyme is an inactive enzyme that must associate with a specific cofactor molecule in order to function. Isoenzyme or isozyme is one of the several forms of an enzy
