What is the common feature of all compounds found in the acid soluble pool?
Options
- AThey have molecular weights ranging from 18 to around 800 daltons
- BThey are polymeric substances
- CThey are all lipids
- DThey are all biomacromolecules
Correct answer
A. They have molecular weights ranging from 18 to around 800 daltons
Step-by-step solution
There is one feature common to all those compounds found in the acid soluble pool. They have molecular weights ranging from 18 to around 800 daltons (Da) approximately .The acid insoluble fraction, has only four types of organic compounds i.e., proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides and lipids. These classes of compounds with the exception of lipids, have molecular weights in the range of ten thousand daltons and above. For this very reason, biomolecules, i.e., chemical compounds found in living organisms are of
