    B i-c, ii-d, iii-a ,iv -b Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C i-a, ii-c, iii-d, iv-b Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D i-c, i-a, iii-b, iv-d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    • 1. Products of digestion are the components in food such as carbohydrates, fatty acids & glycerol. 
    • 2. Carbohydrates, or carbs, are sugar molecules. Along with protein & fats, carbohydrates are one of the three main nutrients found in food & drinks. 
    • 3. Lysine is an α-amino acid that is a precursor to many proteins. It contains an α-amino group, an α-carboxylic acid group, and a side chain lysyl, classifying it as a basic, charged, aliphatic amino acid. It is encoded by the codons AAA and AAG. 
    • 4. Methionine aids in the breakdown of fat by preventing its accumulation in the arteries and its conversation into fatty acids & glycerol is made possible with the help of lipase enzyme.
