Select the organism which can not synthesize protein by own enzymes
A. Bacteria
B. Mycoplasma
C. R. L. O.
D. Virus
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
The virus is an organism that cannot synthesize protein through its enzymes.Unlike true organisms, viruses cannot synthesize proteins, because they lack ribosomes (cell organelles) for the translation of viral messenger RNA (mRNA; a complementary copy of the nucleic acid of the nucleus that associates with ribosomes and directs protein synthesis) into proteins.
They tend to make optimal use of the host cell's reservoir of proteins, viruses need to carry some enzymatic functions with them, as they may not be available or accessible in the infected cell.
