Prosthetic group: It is non-proteinaceous organic cofactor. It is strongly attached with apoenzyme. Example: Haeme in peroxidase and catalase. Cofactor : In a holoenzyme or conjugate enzyme, cofactor is non-protein part which can be an inorganic ion, a prosthetic group or coenzyme.

Enzymes are proteins. Proteins are long chains of aminoacids linked to each other by peptide bonds. Aminoacids have many functional groups in their structure. These functional groups are, many of them at least, ionisable. As they are weak acids and bases in chemical nature, this ionization is influenced by of the solution. For many enzymes, activity is influenced by surrounding . This is depicted in the curve below, explain briefly:

After grinding a living tissue in trichloroacetic acid and then staining it, you would obtain two fractions : acid soluble pool and acid insoluble fraction.
Acid insoluble fraction does not contain -

When you take cells or tissue pieces and grind them with an acid in a mortar and pestle, all the small biomolecules dissolve in the acid. Proteins, polysaccharides and nucleic acids are insoluble in mineral acid and get precipitated. The acid soluble compounds include aminoacids, nucleosides, small sugars etc. When one adds a phosphate group to a nucleoside one gets another acid soluble biomolecule called :
  1. Nitrogen base
  2. Adenine
  3. Sugar phosphate
  4. Nucleotide

In this example, a participant is performing a single-arm maximal isometric bench press. In the transverse plane, from the proximal endpoint, the upper arm is positioned at 232° relative to the right horizontal. The pectoral muscle (black arrow) produces a force of 1,811 N and inserts 4.85 cm from the shoulder AOR (axis of rotation) along the humerus and pulls on the humerus at an angle of 24° relative to the humerus. The latissimus dorsi inserts 8 cm from the shoulder AOR and pulls at an angle of 32° relative to the humerus. The latissimus dorsi (green arrow) produces a force of 331 N. The external weight and the arm have a combined mass of 141 kg. Assume no other musculature is active.
