The answer is C.

A virus is made up of or consists of a nucleic acid in varying quantity which may either be RNA or DNA.

The nucleic acid is surrounded by a protein shell called a capsid. The word capsid comes from the Latin word  capsa which means box.The capsid and the nucleic acid within it are together referred to as nucleoprotein.The  capsid is made up of small sub units called capsomeres.

In many viruses, the nucleoprotein makes up the whole virus. More complex viruses have one or more further enclosing structures also made mostly of protein. These structures are referred to as envelopes and each envelop is specific to a particular virus.

How would I explain it?
Zina [86]

Answer:

What would explain the change in reaction rate —degradation of cellulose by the enzyme cellulase—after 75 minutes is the depletion of the substrate on which the enzyme must act.

Explanation:

A chemical enzymatic reaction, such as cellulase degradation of cellulose, occurs until the substrate is consumed.

The solution to which cellulase is added has the same concentration of cellulose, and what is done is to add enzyme. In the graph you can see that the reaction takes place over time, decreasing the amount of glucose obtained. From 75 minutes onwards the reaction rate decreases as well as the amount of glucose obtained from the reaction, which is due to the fact that the substrate —cellulose— is being depleted.
