enzymes
A
biological catalysts increase the rate of chemical reactions do not becomes part of the products are not consumed in the process do no create a reaction

Q
conjugated enzymes
A
contain protein and non-protein molecules

7
Q
apoenzyme
A
protein portion of a holoenzyme
8
Q
cofactors
A
participate in precise functions between the enzyme and the substrate and help bring the active site and substrate close together
are:
coenzymes- organic molecules
inorganic elements- metal ions
