 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;

Identical heat lamps are arranged to shine on two identical containers, one containing water and one methanol (wood alcohol), so that each liquid absorbs the same amount of energy minute by minute. The covalent bonds of methanol molecules are nonpolar, so there are no hydrogen bonds among methanol molecules. Which of the following graphs correctly describes what will happen to the temperature of the water and the methanol?

When an ionic compound such as sodium chloride (NaCl) is placed in water, the component atoms of the NaCl crystal dissociate into individual sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). In contrast, the atoms of covalently bonded molecules (e.g., glucose, sucrose, glycerol) do not generally dissociate when placed in aqueous solution. Which of the following solutions would be expected to contain the greatest number of solute particles (molecules or ions)?
