the general term is cofactor, but more specifically, if the cofactor is an organic molecule, it is called a coenzyme

Why co factor more stable than enzyme?

A cofactor is a non-protein chemical compound that is bound to a protein. The protein they are bound to are often enzymes. Cofactors are considered "helper molecules" that assist in biochemical transformations. An enzyme are large biochemical molecules that is responsible for many chemical interconversions that sustain life. A cofactor is more stable because it tightly binds to the enzymes to make them stronger.


Turn coal into colored crystals?

to make coal in to colored crystals you will need: aadult helper: measuring spoon: liquid blue laundry detergent: table salt: a small bottle of ammonia; a small jar: plastic spoon or old table spoon: 8 to 10 charcoal briquettes.!!!!!!!!! have fun!!!!!!!!!

How could you increase the chances of a chemical reaction occuring?

You can increase the rate of chemical reactions by doing a few things, like:-Increasing the amount or concentration of some reactantseg. a stain may be removed more quickly by adding more stain remover, or using a more concentrated stain remover-Changing the temperature eg. Fruit ripens more quickly in warmer weather, and food keeps longer when stored in a cool place like a fridge-Increasing the Surface Area of the reactant eg. iron filings dissolve faster in acid than the same amount in a big lump of iron-Increasing the catalysts (helper chemicals) eg. in a cars catalytic converter, the element rhodium helps harmful exhaust fumes mix with oxygen to make them less harmful


What are three methods to speed up a chemical reaction?

* breaking a solid into something smaller (to increase its surface area) * make the solution more concentrated, * increase the temperature. Other methods for increasing the rate of reaction are incrasing the pressure and adding a catalyst.
