Options
- Aloosely attached organic part.
- Bloosely attached inorganic part.
- Caccessory non protein substance attached firmly to protein part of holoenzyme.
- Dit is non protein part attached loosely to protein part of holoenzyme.
Correct answer
C. accessory non protein substance attached firmly to protein part of holoenzyme.
Step-by-step solution
The conjugate enzyme consists of protein parts called apoenzyme and non-protein part called cofactor. If the cofactor is tightly attached to apoenzyme than it is called a prosthetic group, and if the cofactor is loosely attached organic part than it is called a coenzyme.
