Solution

The correct option is C ATP is a Co-enzyme
Adenosine triphosphate, also known as molecular unit of currency, is a coenzyme of vast importance in the transfer of chemical energy derived from biochemical oxidations and it also transports energy within cells for metabolism. Thus, option D is the right answer.

Q. Assertion : A co-enzyme or metal ion that is very tightly bound to enzyme protein called prosthetic group.

Reason : A complete, catalytically active enzyme together with its bound prosthetic group is called apoenzyeme.

Three kinds of cofactors may be identified prosthetic groups, co-enzymes and metal ions. ..........(4).......... groups are organic compounds and are distinguished from other cofactors in that they are tightly bound to the apoenzyme. For example, in peroxidase and catalase, which catalyze the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen, haem is the prosthetic group and it is a part of the active site of the enzyme. .......(5)......... are also organic compounds but their association with the apoenzyme is only transient, usually occurring during the course of catalysis, Furthermore co-enzymes serve as co-factors in a number of different enzyme catalyzed reactions. The essential chemical components of many coenzymes are vitamins, e.g., coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and NADP contain the vitamin niacin.
