Protein part attached with the non-protein part in enzymes belongs to which class of proteins?
Correct answer: B. Conjugated/compound
- A. Simple
- B. Conjugated/compound
- C. Derived
- D. All of these
Explanation
Conjugated/compound proteins are made up of both protein and non-protein components. Enzymes are an example of conjugated proteins because they have a protein component (the Enzyme) and a non-protein component (the cofactor or coenzyme) that is necessary for the enzyme to function properly.

About Classification of Proteins
Proteins are classified by composition as simple, conjugated and derived proteins, and by shape as fibrous or globular proteins. The topic relates these classes to examples such as albumin, keratin, collagen, haemoglobin and casein, while distinguishing structural proteins from proteins with transport, catalytic or regulatory roles.
