Excess of copper and iron in plant/animal systems are removed by chelating ligands.
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
Both D-penicillamine and Desferrioxime B are chelating ligands used to remove excess metal ions. D-penicillamine is effective for copper, while Desferrioxime B is specific for iron. EDTA is a general chelator but less specific for therapeutic removal of these particular excesses. Therefore, both (b) and (c) are correct.
