Zinc is an important inorganic mineral in our diets. Zinc ions (Zn) need to be present in certain proteins such as carbonic anhydrase and pyruvate carboxylase in order for them to function properly. Just like the pyruvate carboxylase enzyme, Zn²+ can be recycled from reaction to reaction. Which of the following terms identify the role of Zn²+ in the body? Check all that apply. A catalyst A coenzyme A cofactor

Zinc is an important inorganic mineral in our diets. Zinc ions (Zn²+) need to be present in certain proteins such as carbonic anhydrase and pyruvate
carboxylase in order for them to function properly. Just like the pyruvate carboxylase enzyme, Zn²+ can be recycled from reaction to reaction.
Which of the following terms identify the role of Zn²+ in the body? Check all that apply.
A catalyst
Folate
A coenzyme
A cofactor
