Question

Match the following molecules with their subunits

Column I		Column II
1. Amino acid		a. Uridine
2. Nucleoside		b. Palmitate
3. Carbohydrate		c. Ribose
4. Fatty acid		d. Adenylic acid
		e. Alanine

• A. 1.$\Rightarrow$ d, 2.$\Rightarrow$ c, 3.$\Rightarrow$ b, 4.$\Rightarrow$ a.
• B. 1.$\Rightarrow$e, 2.$\Rightarrow$a, 3.$\Rightarrow$ c, 4.$\Rightarrow$b.
• C. 1.$\Rightarrow$ c, 2.$\Rightarrow$ d, 3.$\Rightarrow$ a, 4.$\Rightarrow$ b.
• D. 1.$\Rightarrow$ b, 2.$\Rightarrow$a, 3.$\Rightarrow$ d, 4.$\Rightarrow$ c.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

1.$\Rightarrow$e, 2.$\Rightarrow$a, 3.$\Rightarrow$ c, 4.$\Rightarrow$b.

The correct combination of the molecules with their subunits is:

1. Amino acid $\Rightarrow$ e. Alanine

2. Nucleoside $\Rightarrow$ a. Uridine

3. Carbohydrate $\Rightarrow$ c. Ribose

4. Fatty acid $\Rightarrow$ b. Palmitate

Hence the correct option is;

1.$\Rightarrow$e, 2.$\Rightarrow$a, 3.$\Rightarrow$ c, 4.$\Rightarrow$b.

Adenylic acid or Adenosine phosphate is a nucleotide.
