Match List I with List II. List I List II A. Glutamic acid I. Phospholipid B. Lecithin II. Acidic amino acid C. Palmitic acid III. Trihydroxy propane D. Glycerol IV. 16-carbon fatty acid Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AA-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
- BA-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
- CA-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
- DA-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
Correct answer
D. A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
Step-by-step solution
Glutamic acid is an acidic amino acid, not a fatty acid despite its name. Lecithin is a complex lipid classified as a phospholipid, commonly found in cell membranes. Palmitic acid is a saturated fatty acid containing 16 carbon atoms (including the carboxyl carbon). Glycerol is a simple lipid, chemically known as trihydroxy propane. Therefore, the correct matching is A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III. Answer: A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
