MCQ
Enzymes are absent in:
  • A
    Algae
  • B
    Fungi
  • C
    Bacteria
  • Virus

Answer

Correct option: D.
Virus
Enzymes are biological catalysts. Without enzymes no biochemical reaction can take place in any living cell at biologically significant rate. Virus are non living, crystallizable entities.
Hence, virus do not have any enzymes of their own but make use of enzyme machinery of the host for their replication.

A reaction takes place in three steps with individual rate constant and activation energy as follows 

     Rate constant     Activation energy
 Step $1$        $k_1$ $E_{a1} = 180\ kJ/mol$
 Step $2$        $k_2$ $E_{a2} = 80\ kJ/mol$
 Step $3$        $k_3$ $E_{a3} = 50\ kJ/mol$

If overall rate constant, $k = {\left( {\frac{{{k_1}{k_2}}}{{{k_3}}}} \right)^{2/3}}$  ,then overall activation energy of the reaction will be  .......... $ kJ/mol$
