Question

Match the biological molecule listed under column I with their biological function listed under column II. Choose the answer which gives the correct combination of alphabets of the two columns.

	Column I (Biological molecule)		Column II (Function)
A	Glycogen	1	Hormone
B	Globulin	2	Biocatalyst
C	Steroid	3	Antibody
D	Peptidase	4	Storage product

• A. A - 3, B - 2, C - 4, D - 1
• B. A - 4, B - 2, C - 1, D - 3
• C. A - 2, B - 4, C - 3, D - 1
• D. A - 4, B - 3, C - 1, D - 2

Answer 1

The correct option is D A - 4, B - 3, C - 1, D - 2

• Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a form of stored energy in animals and fungi.
• Antibodies are immunoglobulins or gamma globulins that are large, Y-shaped proteins that are produced by plasma cells in response to antigen.
• Steroid hormones are produced by the adrenal cortex and testes. Steroid hormones are crucial substances for the proper function of the body.
• The biocatalytic proteins are called enzymes.
• Enzymes catalyze biological reactions and are indispensable for the metabolism of living beings.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
