Question

Match the columns and choose the correct option

$\begin{array}{cccc}& \text{I}& & \text{II}\\ \text{(a)}& \text{Phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP)}& \text{p.}& \text{6–carbon compound}\\ \text{(b)}& \text{Ribulose biphosphate (RuBP)}& \text{q.}& \text{2–carbon compound}\\ \text{(c)}& \text{Oxaloacetic acid (OAA)}& \text{r.}& \text{4–carbon compound}\\ \text{(d)}& \text{Acetyl CoA}& \text{s.}& \text{5–carbon compound}\\ & & \text{t.}& \text{3–carbon compound}\end{array}$

• A. a – r, b –s, c–t, d–p
• B. a–q, b –r, c – s, d –t
• C. a –t, b–s, c –r, d –q
• D. a –t, b –p, c –q, d –r

Answer 1

The correct option is C

a –t, b–s, c –r, d –q

PEP is ‘3’ carbon compound, OAA is ‘4’ carbon. RUPB is ‘5’ carbon compound, Acetyl CoA is ‘2’ carbon compound.
