Enzymes are not found in?
A. Fungi
B. Cyanobacteria
C. Viruses
D. Algae
Solution
Cyanobacteria are a group of photosynthetic bacteria.This includes nitrogen fixing bacteria which live in moist soils and water. Cyanobacteria are also known as blue-green algae. Though they are able to conduct photosynthesis and live in many of the same environments as so they are included in prokaryotes.
Complete answer:
To answer this question, we need to know what enzymes are.
Enzymes: They are proteins that increase the rate of all the chemical reactions taking place within the cells.
Enzymes are catalysts which mean that each enzyme only increases the rate of specific reaction.
The enzymes in your body help to perform very different tasks.
The fungus group includes protease, cellulose, xylanase, and lipase and amylase type of enzymes.
These fungal enzymes are fitted for industrial applications for several purposes.
Bacteria contain some enzymes which help in degradation of proteins into amino acids. This degradation process is known as proteolysis.
Algae produce an enzyme called Chlorophycean VDE (CVDE).
Viruses are made up of nucleic acid, which is DNA or RNA with protein. Viruses lack cell membrane, protoplasm, and ribosome. Since it lacks metabolism that’s why it lacks the enzymes.
So, the correct answer is option C. Viruses.
Note: Coronavirus: The new coronavirus is a respiratory virus which spreads primarily through droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose. To protect yourself, clean your hands frequently with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water.
