Prosthetic group of enzyme is organic or inorganic?

Answer 1

No. Enzymes are ORGANIC catalysts. Enzymes are types of protein that are very similar to inorganic catalysts. Both increase the rate of a reaction (while decreasing activation energy.) Also, neither of them are used up or changed in the reactions that they speed up. A difference between the two is that enzymes are complex proteins but catalysts are simple inorganic molecules. The main difference is the way that the two are affected by temperature. Like other proteins, an increase in temperature causes an enzyme to denature and change shape. The shape of an enzyme is essential for its role in the reaction because it must fit with the specific substrate (the thing that it is helping to break down/speeding up the reaction of). Therefore, the enzyme will not speed up the reaction if it is denatured and no longer is the same shape. An inorganic catalyst, on the other hand, is more effective at a higher temperature and increases the reaction rate even more.

Answer 2

Both. Enzymes are known as biological catalysts because they speed up reactions within cells. They are organic because they are (tertiary) proteins and protein has c-c (carbon to carbon) bonds making it an organic material.
