Question: 95: Match List – I with List – II :
| List – I | List – II |
|---|---|
| (a) Adenine | (i) Pigment |
| (b) Anthocyanin | (ii) Polysaccharide |
| (c) Chitin | (iii) Alkaloid |
| (d) Codeine | (iv) Purine |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
(1) (a) – (iv), (b) – (i), (c) – (ii), (d) – (iii)
(2) (a) – (iv), (b) – (iii), (c) – (ii), (d) – (i)
(3) (a) – (iii), (b) – (i), (c) – (iv), (d) – (ii)
(4) (a) – (i), (b) – (iv), (c) – (iii), (d) – (ii)
Answer: Option (1)
Explanation:
Adenine is a nitrogenous base that belongs to the purine group.
Anthocyanins are water-soluble plant pigments responsible for red, blue, and purple colours in flowers and fruits.
Chitin is a structural polysaccharide found in the cell walls of fungi and the exoskeleton of arthropods.
Codeine is a naturally occurring alkaloid derived from the opium poppy and is used as a medicinal compound.
Thus, the correct matching is: adenine with purine, anthocyanin with pigment, chitin with polysaccharide, and codeine with alkaloid.
