Vedclass · Answer

(C) Co-factors are non-protein constituents that are bound to the enzyme to make the enzyme catalytically active. In many cases,the apoenzyme (the protein portion of the enzyme) is a large molecule,whereas the co-factors (such as metal ions,prosthetic groups,or co-enzymes) are small,non-protein chemical components. Therefore,co-factors are smaller in size compared to the apoenzyme.
