Cofactors

... 4. What happens to an enzyme with extreme high and low temperatures? 5. How does an enzyme catalyze biochemica reaction? 6. Do all enzymes need cofactors and coenzymes? Photosynthesis: 1. From the colors of visible spectrum, which colors do we see, absorbed or reflected? 2. What is the basic ...

There isn't any real difference between cofactors and coenzymes. Both are non-protein additions to enzymes that are essential for activity in some way. Maybe there is a tendency to label larger ones as "enzymes" and smaller ones as ...

... alone. (NADH/H+ and FADH2 are here acting as electron carriers connecting the metabolic pathways to electron transport. They can also be cofactors in enzyme reactions, so they have more than one function.) Fermentation is the anaerobic conversion of pyruvate produced in glycolysis to ...
