Vedclass · Answer

(A) Trace elements (also known as micronutrients) are chemical elements required by living organisms in very small amounts. In biological systems,many of these trace elements,such as $Zn^{2+}$,$Mg^{2+}$,$Fe^{2+}$,$Mn^{2+}$,etc.,act as essential cofactors for enzymes. Cofactors are non-protein chemical compounds or metallic ions that are required for an enzyme's activity as a catalyst. Without these trace elements,the enzymes would remain inactive,thereby disrupting metabolic processes.
