Q. With reference to enzymes, which one of following statements is true?

A) Apoenzyme=Holoenzyme+Coenzyme
B) Holoenzyme=Apoenzyme+Coenzyme
C) Coenzyme=Apoenzyme+Holoenzyme
D) Holoenzyme=Coenzyme+Apoenzyme
Explanation

Enzymes are water soluble colloidal macromolecules which are wholly or partially proteinaceous in nature. The proteinaceous part of enzyme is called apoenzyme while the non-protein part is called prosthetic group, which may be organic ($ie.,\ coenzyme$) or inorganic ($i.e.,$ cofactor). This complex enzyme is called holoenzyme.
