Answer: The correct answer is -

Decomposers.

Prokaryotes are those organisms that are devoid of nucleus and membrane bound subcellular compartments (called cell organelles).

They primarily include bacteria, which act as decomposers, by breaking the organic compounds of different life forms such as plants and animals into simpler forms (which are vital nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous) that are returned back to the environment.

Which structure has the least effect on the ability of a virus to infect and replicate in a host cell?
AleksAgata [21]
The answer is an envelope.

A virus is an infectious agent that can replicate only inside a host cell. When it is outside the cell, it consists of genetic material coated with protein capsid. Some viruses also have an envelope which covers capsid. The function of the envelope is to identify and bind some receptor sites on the host membranes. After fusing with the cell membrane, it allows to capsid and genetic material to enter the cell and infect it.
