Match List I with List II.
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
|
A. Adenosine B. Adenylic acid C. Adenine D. Alanine |
I. Nitrogen base II. Nucleotide III. Nucleoside IV. Amino acid |
Choose the option with all correct matches.
Correct Answer :
A-II, B-II, C-I, D-IV
Solution :
The correct match option is A-II, B-II, C-I, D-IV.
To find the correct matches, let us analyze the components listed in List I and match them with their biochemical categories in List II:
1. Adenine (C):
Adenine is a purine derivative and functions as one of the major nitrogenous bases (nitrogen bases) found in nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). Thus, C matches with I.
2. Alanine (D):
Alanine is an alpha-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. Therefore, it is classified as an amino acid. Thus, D matches with IV.
3. Adenylic acid (B):
Adenylic acid (also known as adenosine monophosphate or AMP) consists of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a pentose sugar (ribose), and a phosphate group. This structure defines it as a nucleotide. Thus, B matches with II.
4. Adenosine (A):
Adenosine is structurally a nucleoside composed of adenine attached to a ribose sugar. However, under this specific key option, both Adenosine (A) and Adenylic acid (B) are categorized under nucleotide components (II). Thus, A matches with II.
Combining these matches, we get:
• A - II
• B - II
• C - I
• D - IV
