AIIMS 2018 Botany Enzymes MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
Which enzymes will be required to obtain protoplast from plant cell?
A
Cellulase, Pectinase
B
Cellulase, Protease
C
Chitinase, Pectinase
D
Cellulase, Lipase
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Cellulase and pectinase are enzymes that specifically target and degrade the polysaccharides in the plant cell wall, such as cellulose and pectin, respectively. This enzymatic action facilitates the disruption of the cell wall, allowing for the isolation of protoplasts, which are plant cells devoid of their cell walls. Since the other options are not provided, it is not possible to evaluate their relevance; however, understanding the role of these enzymes is crucial in plant biotechnology for applications like genetic engineering and somatic hybridization.
