Question

Match Group I (plant natural product), Group II (class) and Group III (source plant) in CORRECT combination.

• A. P-I-d, Q-II-c, R-IV-a, S-III-b
• B. P-III-d, Q-IV-b, R-I-c, S-II-a
• C. P-II-a, Q-III-b, R-I-d, S-IV-c
• D. P-III-d, Q-I-c, R-IV-b, S-II-a

Hint:

When matching plant products with their classes and source plants, identify the specific chemical class of the product and its corresponding source.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the plant products and their classes.
- Reserpine is an alkaloid, which is obtained from Rauwolfia serpentina. Therefore, P-III-d.
- Resveratrol is a stilbene compound, which is found in Vitis vinifera. Hence, Q-I-c.
- Picrocrocin is a monoterpene glycoside found in Crocus sativus. Thus, R-IV-b.
- Linamarin is a cyanogenic glycoside, and it is obtained from Manihot esculanta. Therefore, S-II-a.
Step 2: Conclusion.
The correct combination of Group I, II, and III is (D) P-III-d, Q-I-c, R-IV-b, S-II-a.
