A	cascade
B	protein phosphates
C	second messenger
D	cyclin

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -A phosphatase is an enzyme that removes a phosphate group from a protein. Together, these two families of enzymes act to modulate the activities of the proteins in a cell, often in response to external stimuli.

Detailed explanation-2: -Protein phosphatases Phosphatases have the opposite function of kinases. They remove the phosphate group from phosphoproteins by hydrolyzing phosphoric acid monoesters into a phosphate group and a molecule with a free hydroxyl group (28, 29).

Detailed explanation-3: -Phytases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the removal of phosphate from either phytic acid or phytate (salt form) and can be classified as histidine acid phosphatases (HAPs), -propeller phytase (or alkaline phytase), purple acid phytase, or protein tyrosine phosphatase.
