Please note that some terms will not be used, while others could be used more than once. prosthetic group cofactor coenzyme organic noncovalent inorganic covalent hydrogen holoenzyme apoenzyme Many enzymes require a non-protein accessory molecule or ion for their activity. The general name for such a component is a(n) .If the molecule is , like a vitamin derivative, and reversibly associated with the On the other hand, if it is enzyme, it is referred to as a(n) irreversibly joined to the enzyme by a(n) molecule is referred to as a(n) bond, the accessory

Explanation / Answer

Many enzyme require an additional small molecule known as cofactor to aid with catalytic activity of enzyme . Non protein molecule carries out chemical reaction that cant performed by standard 20 amino acid. These cofactor either metal ion or organic molecule which are firmly or tightly bound to the enzyme. So the

The non protein accessary molecule is called a cofactor. If the molecule is organic like vitamine derivatives and reversibly attach with the enzyme referred as coenzyme. If it is irreversibly attch to enzyme by covalent bond , accessary molecule is referred as prosthetic group
