The colored pigments of plants are of two principal types: carotenoids and flavonoids. Given below some statements of about these pigments;
a) Anthocyanins
are colored flavonoids that attract animals
b) Flavonoids are phenolic compounds that include a
wide range of colored substances
c) Carotenoids are coloured terpenoid compounds that
also serve as accessory pigments in photosynthesis
d) most widespread group of pigmented carotenoids is
the anthocyanins, these are glycosides that have sugars. Without their sugars,
anthocyanins are known as anthocyanidins
Which of the following is incorrect statements of these pigments;

Two other major groups of flavonoids found in flowers
and leaves of all green plants. The function of these two flavonoids in plants
are____
a) protect plants against being eaten by herbivores
and against being infected by microbial pathogens
b)
Protect cells from excessive UV-B radiation (280–320 nm) because they
accumulate in the epidermal layers of leaves and stems and absorb light
strongly in the UV-B region
c)
flavones and flavonols secreted into the soil by legume roots mediate the
interaction of legumes and nitrogen-fixing symbionts
d) They are are coloured terpenoid compounds that also
serve as accessory pigments in photosynthesis
Which of the following combination from the above statements is correct?
