Questions  

Which statement is incorrect about coenzyme?

a
Co-enzymes are organic compounds.
b
The association of coenzyme with apoenzyme is only transient.
c
The essential chemical components of many coenzymes are vitamins.
d
Every coenzyme is a cofactor and every cofactor is a coenzyme.

detailed solution

Correct option is D

There are three kinds of cofactors: prosthetic groups, co-enzymes and metal ions. Therefore, every coenzyme is a cofactor but every cofactor is not a coenzyme. Ce-enzymes are a type of organic cofactors loosely associated with apoenzyme at the time of catalysis and usually the active forms of vitamins.
