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 Nonprotein molecules that join with enzymes temporarily during chemical reactions in cells?
coenzyme CORRECTION the above answer is wrong the correct answer is cofactors.
How do enzyme cofactors and coenzymes differ?
both need to be present in the enzyme for the reaction to take place but the substrate undergoes a physical transformation while the cofactor remains the same.
What is a non protein helper of an enzyme molecule called?
Cofactor is a non-protein, inorganic enzyme helper. An example of a cofactor is metal ions.
Do enzymes receive help from cofactors?
No, some enzymes do not need any additional components (cofactors or coenzymes) to show full activity.
Which Enzyme function is true Enzymes cannot function at a pH lower than 6.Most coenzymes are inorganic substances such as ions of iron or potassium.Excessive salt ions can cause an enzyme to denature?
The answer is: "Excessive salt ions can cause an enzyme to denature." Although most enzymes function near neutrality, in the range of pH 6-8, there are some exceptions. For example, Pepsin, a digestive enzyme, works best at pH 2. While some coenzymes are inorganic, there are several organic coenzymes as well.
What has the author David Dolphin written?
David Dolphin has written: 'Tabulation of infrared spectral data' -- subject(s): Infrared spectroscopy, Tables 'Coenzymes and Cofactors (Coenzymes & Cofactors Series)'

Why do Vitamins help the growth of plants?
some vitamins are act as cofactors or coenzymes esssntial for growth of enzymes

Do enzymes receive help from cofactors?
No, some enzymes do not need any additional components (cofactors or coenzymes) to show full activity.
What is the function of coenzymes?
Molecules required for the catalytic function of enzymes
Is aerobic respiration similar to burning glucose?
Yes, excluding enzymes, cofactors, and coenzymes, combustion of glucose and aerobic respiration of glucose are the same thing chemically speaking.
Which nutrients function as coenzymes and are needed in only small amounts?
Vitamins
What is the relationship between coenzymes and vitamins?
An enzyme is a protein molecule that acts as a catalyst to speed up the rate of a reaction. A coenzyme is an organic molecule that serves as an enzyme helper (aka cofactor). A vitamin is a group of unrelated molecules used in the making of certain coenzymes. Like enzymes, cells use inorganic cofactors, coenzymes, and vitamins repeatedly until these molecules are worn out or destroyed.
Vitamins are essential to the survival of organisms because vitamins usually function as?
coenzymes
What are cofactors in cells and what are they derived from?
Cofactors are nonprotein additions that are needed for enzyme activity. Cofactors are derived from vitamins and minerals.
