Question

Match the following

• A. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
• B. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
• C. A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
• D. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

Hint:

Memorise basic biomolecules: glycine (simplest amino acid), palmitic acid (C16), glycerol = trihydroxy propane.
Match by recognizing chemical names (e.g., trihydroxy propane = glycerol).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

1. The simplest amino acid is glycine (smallest side chain = H) — so A \(\rightarrow\) IV.
2. A 16-carbon saturated fatty acid is palmitic acid (C16:0) — so B \(\rightarrow\) III.
3. A simple lipid refers to a simple glyceride such as a triglyceride formed from glycerol (trihydroxy propane) and fatty acids — so C \(\rightarrow\) II (glycerol = trihydroxy propane).
4. Tryptophan is an aromatic amino acid — so D \(\rightarrow\) I.
5. Thus the correct matching is A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I. Hence the correct option is (2) A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I.
