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.
