Solution

Co-factors are chemical compounds that aid in the functioning of enzymes.Certain enzymes require several co-factors to function. Co-factors can be either inorganic or organic molecules. Inorganic co-factors are usually metal ions like magnesium, copper, manganese or iron-sulphur complexes. Organic co-factors can include various vitamins, metabolic intermediated and smaller proteins.

Therefore, when the above statement claims that co-factors help in enzyme function but are composed of a specific amino acid, it is being only partially correct. The nature of co-factors can be diverse and not restricted to just a single amino acid.

The above statement can therefore be considered FALSE.
