Answer:

The correct answer will be option- B.

Explanation:

A virus is an infectious particle which contains protein molecules- capsid and docking proteins and the genetic material like- DNA and RNA.

The capsid is the shell of virus made up of proteins called protomers which form a 3-D structure unit. The capsid encloses the genetic material of the virus elements, contains attached proteins which helps in penetration like tail proteins of the bacteriophage and the receptor proteins to attach the virus to the host cell.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Answer:

Digestion

Explanation:

The diagram is attached below

The diagram represents a complex sugar that is linked to an enzyme. With the addition of water, this complex sugar is broken down into two simple sugars.

This process is called digestion, which is the breakdown of large insoluble molecules into small molecules that the body can use for energy. The catalyst in this picture speeds up or facilitates the reaction. It could be an enzyme such as amylase.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D) "a quaternary protein with four polypeptides".

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is a quaternary protein with four polypeptides. Hemoglobin is comprised of four polypeptides, two alpha chains with 141 amino acid residues and two beta chains with 146 amino acids residues. Hemoglobin is classified as a quaternary protein, because it reaches a quaternary structure when the different polypeptides are attached to each other.
