Define co-factor and Co-enzyme.
Co-factor
Non-protein chemical compound (organic or inorganic) that is required for an enzyme to function appropriately is called co-factor.
Co-factors perform their actions oftenly through loosely or tightly binding with active site of enzymes.Usually, co-enzymes are metal ions, i. e., Cu++, Fe++, Co ++, Mg++ etc.
Co-enzyme
Co-enzyme is a type of co-factor that is organic compound loosely bonded with enzymes.
Mostly, co-enzyme are vitamins or are derivatives of vitamins, i.e., Vitamin A, D, E, K, etc. Without Co-enzyme, enzymes do not perform action as an enzyme.
