All coenzymes are derived from:
Correct answer: D. Vitamins
- A. Proteins
- B. Metal ions
- C. Carbohydrates
- D. Vitamins
Explanation
Coenzymes are small organic molecules that assist enzymes in catalyzing biochemical reactions. They are often derived from vitamins, which are essential organic compounds that the body requires in small amounts for various metabolic processes.

About Enzymes
Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, and their specificity is explained by the lock and key and induced fit models. Work includes the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on reaction rate, plus competitive and non-competitive inhibition and how these differ.
