enzymes are made up of protein. amino acids are a type of protein, but if ever asked
a question on what they are made up of, the simple answer of :protein, will be
appropriate. enzymes are what speed up the chemical reactions in our body, if we
did not have enzymes the chemical reactions would take a lot longer to take place
and could effect our body functions as the chemical reactions are not happening as
they are suppose to.

∙ 9y agoAn enzyme is a substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a reaction. Coenzymes are non protein compounds that are necessary for the functioning of an enzymes.

What do vitamins often function as?
Co-enzymes. Needed to complete the enzymes metabolic processes.
The substances on which enzymes act are called co factors?
cofactors
Is ATP a co-enzyme?
Yes ATP is a co-enzyme.It is needed for some enzymes.
Does vitamins help your body use carbohydrates?
Yes. They are called co-enzymes.
Which nutrients act as helper molecules?
Sorry, but molecules of what? There is a myriad of different molecules. Revising your question please.
Complex organic molecules that work with enzymes to facilitate the enzymes?
co-enzymes
What do vitamins often function as?
Co-enzymes. Needed to complete the enzymes metabolic processes.
How do enzymes co-enzymes and vitamins relate to one another?
They don't at all. Enzymes, Coenzymes, and Vitamins are 3 totally different thing
What is the function of cofactors and co-enzymes?
co-enzymes are organic molecules that are required by certain enzymes to carry out catalysis while co-factors are often classified as inorganic substances that are required for, or increase the rate of, catalysis.
What organic compound catalyzes chemical reactions?
They are called enzymes, but there a probably billions of different enzymes. They are built from protein molecules decorated with sugars and sometimes include one or more metal atoms at their "active" site.
Which co-enzymes captured the hydrogen molecules?
awdaw
The substances on which enzymes act are called co factors?
cofactors
What are the vitamins that assist the chemical action of enzymes?
its a type of cofactor more precisely called a Coenzyme
Is ATP a co-enzyme?
Yes ATP is a co-enzyme.It is needed for some enzymes.
What are co-factors that are essential in proper functioning of enzymes?
Vitamins and Minerals
Does vitamins help your body use carbohydrates?
Yes. They are called co-enzymes.
Which nutrients act as helper molecules?
Sorry, but molecules of what? There is a myriad of different molecules. Revising your question please.
