Question:

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

LIST-ILIST-II
A. RicinI. Snake venom
B. AbrinII. Stops protein synthesis
C. HyaluronidaseIII. Used to lull cattle's
D. HistaminesIV. Bee and wasp venom

Show Hint

Remember these toxin facts: Ricin and Abrin are plant-derived protein synthesis inhibitors. Hyaluronidase is the "spreading factor" in snake venom. Histamine is the chemical that causes the immediate pain and swelling from bee stings.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

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:
\( \boxed{A - II, \; B - I, \; C - III, \; D - IV} \)
