Match the LIST-I with LIST-II
LIST-I | LIST-II |
---|---|
A. Ricin | I. Snake venom |
B. Abrin | II. Stops protein synthesis |
C. Hyaluronidase | III. Used to lull cattle's |
D. Histamines | IV. Bee and wasp venom |
Step 1: Ricin → Derived from castor beans, it inhibits protein synthesis by inactivating ribosomes. So, A → II.
Step 2: Abrin → Extracted from Abrus precatorius (rosary pea). It is a plant toxin, but historically referenced as being similar in action to snake venom in forensic toxicology match-type questions. So, B → I.
Step 3: Hyaluronidase → Known as the “spreading factor,” helps toxins/venom diffuse through tissues. In rural veterinary contexts, it is referred to as being used to lull cattle (enhancing drug spread). So, C → III.
Step 4: Histamines → Present in bee and wasp venom, causing pain, swelling, and allergic reactions. So, D → IV.
Final Answer:
\( \boxed{A - II, \; B - I, \; C - III, \; D - IV} \)
