Enzymes that contain trace minerals are called:
A)zymogens.
B)trace enzymes.
C)metalloenzymes.
D)substrates.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enzymes that contain trace minerals are called metalloenzymes because they require trace minerals, such as zinc or iron, to function properly. A is incorrect because zymogens are inactive forms of enzymes that require activation. B is incorrect because "trace enzymes" is not a commonly used term in enzyme nomenclature. D is incorrect because substrates are the molecules that enzymes act upon, not enzymes themselves.
