(a)
Interpretation:
The cofactors and coenzymes from the given list should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Enzyme:
- It is a protein or a molecule which can act as a catalyst for a biological reaction.
- Does not affect the equilibrium point of the reaction.
- Active site of the enzyme is the region where the reaction takes place.
- Enzyme’s activity can be specific which means the activity is limited to a certain substrate and a certain type of reaction and it is referred to as specificity of the enzyme.
Cofactor: It is a non-protein part of an enzyme which is essential to the enzyme’s catalytic activity and it can be a cofactor or a coenzyme.
Coenzyme: It is an organic molecule that acts as an enzyme cofactor.
