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.

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 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.
