Question

Read the given statements and select the option that correctly sorts these with respect to A and B in the given flow chart.
(i)Molecular weight ranging from 18 to 800 daltons (Da) approximately
(ii)Proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides and lipids
(iii)Contain chemicals that have molecular weight more than 800 Da
(iv)Has monomers
(v)Generally has polymers

• A. A-(i),(ii),(iii)B-((iv),(v)
• B. A-(ii),(iv)B-(i),(iii),(v)
• C. A-(i),(iv)B-(ii),(iii),(v)
• D. A-(i),(iii),(v)B-(ii),(iv)

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

A-(i),(iii),(v)

B-(ii),(iv)

In the living cells are taken along with chloroacetic acid then crushed, it forms a thick slurry and filtered through centrifugation.

In the filtrate, the molecules that weigh around 18 to 800 Dalton are present in the filtrate or acid soluble pool along with the chemicals that have a molecular weight of more than 800 daltons. It also has large polymers.

The acid-insoluble pool contains proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides and lipids. It contains small molecules.

So, the correct option is 'A-(i),(iii),(v) B-(ii),(iv)'
