Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

Hydrolysis is a type of chemical reaction where a water molecule is utilized or consumed to rupture the chemical bonds. In these reactions, water acts as a nucleophile and separate the larger molecules into its components.

In the given question, the process of cellulolysis or the breakdown of cellulose to smaller polysaccharide like cellodextrins or glucose units is a hydrolytic reaction.  This reaction requires an ionic solvent as cellulose molecules bind strongly to each other and cellulolysis Is difficult.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Answer: Option B.

B. The chromaphore retinal absorbs a photon of light, causing a double bond in retinal to isomerize from trans to cis configuration.

Explanation:

Bacteriorhodopsin is a protein used by archaea or half bacteria that pumps proton across membrane by using the light energy from sun to move protons across membrane. It is found in purple membrane of archaea cells which is known as two dimensional crystalline patches.

It captures photon energy through chromophore retina which is covalently bound and transporting the photons against their electrochemical gradients from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space.
