Question

A coenzyme is (A) same enzyme that occurs in different tissues such as heart and muscle (B) one that shares the function of other enzyme (C) organic or inorganic in nature and helps activate metabolic enzymes (D) organic non-protein in nature and helps to activate metabolic enzymes

Coenzymes are also organic compounds but their association with apoenzyme is transient, usually occurring only during the course of catalysis. In general, coenzymes not only assist enzymes in the cleavage of the substrate but also serve as temporary acceptor for one of the product of the reaction.
