Enzymes are not found in :
A
Fungi
B
Algae
C
Virus
D
Cyanobacteria
Detailed Solution
Viruses have no cellular structure and no metabolic machinery. They consist of nucleic acid enclosed in a protein coat, and use the enzymes of the host cell to multiply.
(Some viruses carry a few enzymes inside the particle, such as reverse transcriptase or lysozyme, but they do not have metabolic enzymes.)
Fungi, algae and cyanobacteria are living cells with many enzymes.
So enzymes are not found in viruses.
