The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "The protein part of the enzyme is called apoenzyme and the non-protein part of the enzyme is called co-factor." - This is correct. In enzymology, the protein component of an enzyme is indeed referred to as the apoenzyme, while the non-protein component, which can be a metal ion or a coenzyme, is known as the cofactor. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Zinc is a co-factor for the proteolytic enzyme carboxypeptidase." - This statement is also correct. Zinc acts as a cofactor for the enzyme carboxypeptidase, which is involved in protein digestion. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - While both the assertion and the reason are true, the reason does not directly explain the assertion. The assertion is a general statement about the definitions of apoenzyme and cofactor, while the reason provides a specific example of a cofactor (zinc) without linking it back to the definition of apoenzyme. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is correct and the reason is also correct but does not explain the assertion, the correct answer is: **B: Assertion is correct but reason is not the correct explanation of it.**
