What type of bonds exist between an enzyme and its prosthetic group?
Correct answer: B. Covalent
- A. Ionic
- B. Covalent
- C. Hydrogen
- D. Metallic
Explanation
Enzymes require cofactors which are involved in the formation of enzyme-substarte complex and formation of product. If cofactor permanently attached by covalent bonds, it is called prosthetic group. If its detachabale, then it is called coenzyme.

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.
