Select the correct option:
NEET 2020 (Phase 2)
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
Aquaporins are protein ion channels that facilitate the transport of water. Thus, chemically they are polypeptide in nature.
Asparagine is an amino acid with group in the side chain. Thus, it is chemically an amide.
Chitin is a mucopolysaccharide of the monomer acetylglucosamine. It is found in the cell wall of fungi and in the exoskeleton of arthropods.
Abscisic acid (ABA), synthesised in response to water stress, is an apocarotenoid.
