Enzymes that are also present in a virus:
Correct answer: C. Lysozyme
- A. Dehydrogenase
- B. Urease
- C. Lysozyme
- D. Arginase
Explanation
Lysozyme is a ubiquitous enzyme present in all living organisms and viruses to break down cell walls. Dehydrogenase, urease, and arginase are absent in viruses because viruses lack their own metabolism and cellular machinery. They do not carry out respiration or other biochemical reactions. Instead, viruses depend entirely on the host cell's enzymes and energy for their replication and survival.

About Biodiversity and Variety of Life
Biological classification uses taxonomic ranks, binomial nomenclature and shared characteristics to organize life into kingdoms. The major groups include prokaryotes, protists, fungi, plants and animals, with comparisons based on cell type, cell wall, nutrition, body organization, reproduction and evolutionary relationships; prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus.
