Biological Molecule Function Matching
This question requires matching biological molecules from List-I with their primary functions or classifications from List-II.
Analyzing the Matches:
- A. Starch: Starch is a complex carbohydrate that serves as a primary source of stored energy in plants. Therefore, Starch corresponds to II. Energy storage.
- B. Antibody: Antibodies are key components of the adaptive immune system, produced by B cells to recognize and neutralize pathogens like bacteria and viruses, thus fighting infections. Therefore, Antibody corresponds to I. Fights infection.
- C. Concanavalin A: Concanavalin A is a well-known protein isolated from the jack bean, classified as a lectin due to its ability to bind specifically to certain carbohydrates. Therefore, Concanavalin A corresponds to IV. Lectin.
- D. Glut-4: Glut-4 (Glucose transporter type 4) is a protein responsible for facilitating glucose uptake into cells, particularly in response to insulin signaling in muscle and adipose tissue. Therefore, Glut-4 corresponds to III. Glucose transport.
Correct Combination:
Based on the analysis, the correct matching is:
- A - II
- B - I
- C - IV
- D - III
This corresponds to the option A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III.
