Options
- AI and II
- BIII and IV
- CI and III
- DII and IV
Correct answer
C. I and III
Step-by-step solution
The cell wall of plants is made up of cellulose (β-d-glucopyranose subunits linked by the (1→4) bond), while that of fungi is made up of chitin (homopolymer of N-acetyl glucosamine with β-(1,4) linkages). The tertiary structure of protein shows a crevice that acts as an enzyme. Hence the function of the enzyme will stop if this structure is destroyed. The cytoplasm contains RNA (r-uridylic acid) and DNA (d-thymidylic acid) is predominantly present in the nucleus. Arachidonic acid has 20 carbon atoms.
