(e) the need for coenzymes and cofactors in some enzyme controlled reactions

What are co factors

Enzymes that work in partnership with anther chemical

What is an example of cofactor in use

Amylase catalyses the hydrolysis of starch to the disaccharide maltose - substrate = starch and water

What is the cofactor for amylase

Chloride ion has to attach itself to amylase molecule

What is a co enzyme

Many cofactors are complex organic molecules

What is an example of co enzyme

NAD transfers hydrogen from one molecule to another

temporarily binds to many chemicals during respiration its made from vitamin niacin VB3

Where do co enzymes come from

Many co enzymes come from vitamin we get in our diet

What is it called when co factors bind permanently to the substrate
