Match the following: (a) Aquaporin (i) Amide (b) Asparagine (ii) Polysaccharide (c) Abscisic acid (iii)…

Match the following:

(a) Aquaporin (i) Amide
(b) Asparagine (ii) Polysaccharide
(c) Abscisic acid (iii) Polypeptide
(d) Chitin (iv) Carotenoids

Select the correct option:

  1. (a)-(iii),(b)-(i),(c)-(iv),(d)-(ii)
  2. (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i)
  3. (a)-(ii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iv), (d)-(iii)
  4. (a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c) -(ii), (d)-(iv)

Solution

Aquaporins are protein ion channels that facilitate the transport of water. Thus, chemically they are polypeptide in nature.

Asparagine is an amino acid with -CONH2 group in the side chain. Thus, it is chemically an amide.

Chitin is a mucopolysaccharide of the monomer N-acetylglucosamine. It is found in the cell wall of fungi and in the exoskeleton of arthropods.

Abscisic acid (ABA), synthesised in response to water stress, is an apocarotenoid.
