Enzymes has cofactors.the answer is correct.
Note that the cofactors are helper molecules

The correct answer is E. Can withstand high temperature.
This is because:
* A. Are proteins: Enzymes are indeed proteins, which are complex molecules essential for life.
* B. Need cofactors to activate them: Many enzymes require cofactors (non-protein helpers) to function properly.
* C. Are sensitive in their action: Enzymes are very sensitive to changes in temperature and pH, which can affect their activity.
* D. Are specific in their action: Each enzyme typically catalyzes a specific reaction, meaning it works on a particular substrate (the molecule it acts upon).
* E. Can withstand high temperature: This is NOT TRUE. Enzymes are generally sensitive to high temperatures. Extreme heat can denature (damage) them, making them lose their shape and function.

I disagree with the first constitution enzymes are always specific in their action, so the answer can never be C .I agree with optionE.

I disagree with the first contribution.enzymes are always specific in their actions,so the answer and never be C.I agree with option E.
