The correct answer is: Lost, Co-factor
Enzymes are proteinaceous in nature. Some Enzymes also contain non-protein part known as Co-factors. These factors are attached to the Enzymes to enhanced their catalytic activity. The protein part of Enzyme is known as Apoenzyme. Hence Apoenzyme (Protein part) + Co-factors (Non protein part) = Holoenzyme (Whole Enzyme). As the co-factors are bound to enzymes, the removal of these factors affects the overall activity of Enzymes too.
