Options
- AA-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
- BA-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
- CA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- DA-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
Correct answer
C. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
Step-by-step solution
Amylose is a linear polymer of -D-glucose units connected by -glycosidic linkages. Cellulose is a straight chain polysaccharide composed only of -D-glucose units which are joined by -glycosidic linkages. Proteins are polymers of -amino acids connected by peptide linkages. Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are long chain polymers of nucleotides, which are linked by phosphodiester linkages. Therefore, the correct matching is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II. Answer: A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
