Part II: Reading Comprehension and Extension (3 points each)
Read the passage. Then, choose the best answer from the choices provided and record your
selection on the student answer sheet.
Many enzymes require non-protein helpers for catalytic activity. These helpers, called cofactors, may
be attached tightly to the active site as a permanent part of the enzyme, or they may attach loosely and
reversibly along with the substrate. The cofactors of some enzymes are inorganic, such as the
materials zinc, iorn, and copper. If the cofactor is an organic molecule, it is called a coenzyme. Most
vitamins are coenzymes themselves or they are the subunits from which coenzymes are made.
Cofactors function in many different ways, but in all cases they are necessary for catalysis to take
place.
21. Non-protein, enzyme helpers are called

A. substrates
B. coenzymes
C. organic
D. cofactors
22. Cofactors are ______ attached to the active site of enzymes.

A. always loosely
B. always tightly
C. sometimes loosely, sometimes tightly
D. never
23. Some inorganic cofactors are

A. vitamins
B. minerals
C. proteins
D. lipids
24. Coenzymes are best described as

A. organic cofactors
B. inorganic cofactors
C. mineral cofactors
D. sugar cofactors
SHORT ANSWER: Compare and contrast active transport and passive transport. Give one example of
each
