Question

The function of trace elements which occur in protoplasm.

• A. Formation of enzymes
• B. Formation of hormones
• C. Formation of haemoglobin
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A Formation of enzymes

The word protoplasm is generally used to refer to the living parts of a cell, but can have slightly different meanings in different circles. The protoplasm outside of the nucleus is called as the cytoplasm, and the protoplasm inside the nucleus is called as the nucleoplasm. In prokaryotes, the contents of a cell are collectively called the cytoplasm. The first component of the protoplasm is the cytoplasm, which exists between the cell membrane and the nucleus in eukaryotes. It is where the organelles with various essential functions are found. Some enzymes are formed in protoplasm. Some enzymes such as urease and papain function alone.

So the correct option is 'formation of enzymes'.
