    C) cyanobacteria

    D) viruses

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Viruses are made up of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) + protein. Cellular organisation (cell membrane, protoplasm, ribosomes etc.,) is not found. No metabolism occurs in viruses and hence, no enzymes are found (of course, some viruses have a few enzymes which help them penetrate the host). On the other hand, algae, fungi and cyanobacteria have a variety of enzymes.
