Question

Match the following and find the correct combination.

(a)	Cellulase	(i)	Cell wall of bacteria
(b)	Chitinase	(ii)	Cell wall of plant cells
(c)	Lysozyme	(iii)	Proteins
(d)	Protease	(iv)	Cell wall of fungal wall
		(v)	RNA

• A. a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii
• B. a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
• C. a-v, b-i, c-iii, d-ii
• D. a-v, b-iv, c-i, d-ii

Answer 1

The correct option is A a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii

Cellulase degrades cellulose - a complex carbohydrate that forms the main constituent of the cell wall in plants.

Chitinases are enzymes that degrade chitin (the major constituent in the exoskeleton of arthropods and the cell walls of fungi.).

Lysozyme is an enzyme that cleaves peptidoglycan in bacterial cell walls.

A protease is an enzyme that catalyzes (increases the rate of) proteolysis, the breakdown of proteins into smaller polypeptides or single amino acids.

So the correct answer is option A.
