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.
