Question 4

What is the difference between a coenzyme and a prosthetic group?

Accepted Answer

A)  Coenzymes are essential for an enzymeʹs function and prosthetic groups only enhance its reaction rate. 
B)  Coenzymes are weakly bound whereas prosthetic groups are strongly bound to their respective enzymes. 
C)  Coenzymes are organic cofactors and prosthetic groups are inorganic cofactors. 
D)  Coenzymes require additional ions to bind to enzymes but prosthetic groups are able to directly interact with enzymes.
