Prokaryotes and eukaryotes use extracellular enzymes. Extracellular digestive enzymes are found in the external environments of some prokaryotes. Some prokaryotes are digested by hydrolytic enzymes during phagocytosis by eukaryotic cells. Which row shows the locations where extracellular enzymes are produced?
Asite of production of digestive enzymes used by prokaryotes: inside cells, site of production of hydrolytic enzymes used by eukaryotic phagocytes: inside cells
Bsite of production of digestive enzymes used by prokaryotes: inside cells, site of production of hydrolytic enzymes used by eukaryotic phagocytes: outside cells
Csite of production of digestive enzymes used by prokaryotes: outside cells, site of production of hydrolytic enzymes used by eukaryotic phagocytes: inside cells
Dsite of production of digestive enzymes used by prokaryotes: outside cells, site of production of hydrolytic enzymes used by eukaryotic phagocytes: outside cells
✓ Correct answer
A: site of production of digestive enzymes used by prokaryotes: inside cells, site of production of hydrolytic enzymes used by eukaryotic phagocytes: inside cells
