virus

bacterium

fungus

protozoan

- Melatonin is a hormone primarily involved in regulating sleep-wake cycles, not directly in encoding proteins.

- Option 1: Virus

- Melatonin has some studies suggesting it may have antiviral properties, but it doesn't encode proteins to prevent virus entry.

- Answer: Correct. Melatonin might indirectly impact viral entry through immune modulation.

- Option 2: Bacterium

- Similarly, melatonin does not encode proteins to prevent bacterial entry.

- Option 3: Fungus

- Melatonin does not encode proteins against fungi directly.

- Option 4: Protozoan

- Melatonin does not encode proteins to deter protozoan entry either.
