Question

Given below are various plant natural products and their basic structural unit:

List I:
Natural products


List II:

​Basic unit
A. Phenolics
I. Five-carbon isoprene unit
B. Alkaloids
II. Glucose unit attached by O-β-D-glucosyl linkage
C. Terpenoids
III. Nitrogen containing
D. Cyanogenic glycoside
IV. Aromatic arene ring with OH group

Which of the following options represents the correct match of natural product and the basic unit:

A.

A - IV, B - I, C - III, D - II

B.

A - III, B - II, C - I, D - IV

C.

A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II

D.

A - IV, B - III, C - I, D - II

Correct option is D

Explanation-

A. Phenolics → IV. Aromatic arene ring with OH group
Phenolics are defined by the presence of a benzene ring bearing one or more hydroxyl (OH) groups.
Example: Flavonoids, tannins.

B. Alkaloids → III. Nitrogen containing
Alkaloids are nitrogen-containing compounds, often with complex ring structures. They are usually derived from amino acids.
Example: Morphine, quinine, nicotine.

C. Terpenoids → I. Five-carbon isoprene unit
Terpenoids (also called isoprenoids) are built from isoprene (C₅H₈) units. They can form mono-, di-, sesqui-, and poly-terpenes.

D. Cyanogenic glycoside → II. Glucose unit attached by O-β-D-glucosyl linkage
Cyanogenic glycosides consist of a sugar moiety (usually glucose) linked to a cyanohydrin group. The glucose is attached via O-β-D-glucosyl linkage.

Correct match:
A - IV, B - III, C - I, D - II → Option d
