The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Enzymes**: Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are crucial for various metabolic processes. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The question provides four options: fungi, cyanobacteria, virus, and algae. We need to determine which of these does not contain enzymes. 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Fungi**: Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that have complex cellular structures and possess various enzymes to aid in their metabolic processes. - **Cyanobacteria**: Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic bacteria that also contain enzymes necessary for their metabolic functions. - **Algae**: Algae are also eukaryotic organisms that perform photosynthesis and have enzymes for metabolism. - **Virus**: Viruses are acellular entities that consist of nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat. They do not possess cellular structures, such as ribosomes or a cell membrane, and they lack metabolic processes. 4. **Conclusion**: Since viruses do not have metabolism and do not contain enzymes, the correct answer to the question is "virus". **Final Answer**: Enzymes are not found in viruses. ---
