Answer 1

Explanation:

?

. Prosthetic groups are organic compounds whereas cofactors can be organic or inorganic (metal ions). Prosthetics are distinguished from cofactors as they are tightly bound to the apoenzyme.

Answer 2

Answer:

hey mate here is your answer...

Explanation:

➡️ Prosthetic groups are non protein organic cofactors which get firmly attached to apoenzyme to form holoenzyme e.g, heme, biotin, pyridoxal phosphate.

➡️ Cofactors are small, heat stable, nonprotein, inorganic and organic dialysable parts of conjugate enzymes. Inorganic cofactor is generally a metal. Organic cofactor can be coenzyme or prosthetic groups.
