Question

To digest cellulose in its environment a fungus produces a/an

Answer 1

The fungus must produce the enzyme  "cellulase" (an enzyme that can digest cellulose)

To digest cellulose in its environment this cellulase enzyme must be sent/excreted out of the cells.

since the enzyme does its job outside of the cell, it is called an EXOENZYME.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is Exoenzyme.

Explanation:

Exoenzymes are the ones that digest cellulose present in the environment of fungus. It is an extracellular enzyme secreted by eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells for breaking down macromolecules. Breaking down macromolecules is an important process for metabolism. Sometimes exoenzymes are used as virulence factors also. In humans, this process is done by a digestive system where the food is broken down into smaller pieces by exoenzymes.
