 Among the diverse components of plant defense arsenals are proteins that interfere with herbivore digestion, Given some defense compound of plants in column I with its given action in column II

Column I

column II

I)  α-amylase inhibitors

a) Antidigestive proteins, block the action of herbivore proteolytic enzymes. After entering the herbivore’s digestive tract, they hinder protein digestion by binding tightly and specifically to the active site of protein-hydrolyzing enzymes such as trypsin and chymotrypsin

II) Lectins

b) block the action of the starch-digesting enzyme

III) proteinase inhibitors

c) A defensive proteins that bind to carbohydrates or carbohydrate-containing proteins. After being ingested by an herbivore, bind to the epithelial cells lining the digestive tract and interfere with nutrient absorption

Correctly match the defence compound withits action on herbivore;

In starving cells, however, such degradation would deplete essential enzymes and regulatory proteins. Lysosomes therefore also have a selective pathway, which is activated only after a prolonged fast, that imports and degrades cytosolic proteins containing the pentapeptide  , the sequence is

Lysozyme is an enzyme that destroys bacterial cell walls. It does so by hydrolyzing the β(1→4) glycosidic linkages from N- acetylmuramic acid (NAM or MurNAc) to N- acetylglucosamine (NAG or GlcNAc) in cell wall peptidoglycans. The only functional groups in the immediate vicinity of lysozyme’s reactive center that have the required catalytic properties are the side chains of Glu 35 and Asp 52.
a- Glu perform reaction in its protonated state and Asp perform reaction in its deprotonated state. 
b- Glu perform reaction in its deprotonated state and Asp perform reaction in its protonated state. 
c- both in its protonated form
d- both in its deprotonated form

Following are the some statement . Choose the correct one?
a. Primary Lysosomes are also called storage granules, protolysosomes or virgin lysosomes. Primary lysosomes are newly formed organelles bounded by a single membrane and typically having a diameter of 100 nm. They contain the degradative enzymes which  participate in digestive process. 
b. Heterophagosomes are also called heterophagic vacuoles, heterolysosomes or phagolysosomes. Heterophagosomes are formed by the fusion of primary lysosomes with cytoplasmic vacuoles containing extracellular substances brought into the cell by any of a variety of endocytic processes.
c. Autophagosomes are able to digest intracellular structures including mitochondria, ribosomes, peroxisomes and glycogen granules.
