The correct Answer is:
To determine which analogy is wrong, we will analyze each statement one by one based on the information provided in the video transcript. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyzing Starch and Iodine:** - Starch is tested using iodine, which turns blue or black in the presence of starch. - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. 2. **Analyzing Glycogen and Iodine:** - Glycogen is also tested with iodine, and it turns red when glycogen is present. - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. 3. **Analyzing DNA:** - DNA is composed of four types of monomers: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. 4. **Analyzing Proteins:** - Proteins are made up of 20 different amino acids (monomers). - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. 5. **Analyzing Oleic Acid and MUFA:** - Oleic acid is classified as a Monounsaturated Fatty Acid (MUFA), which contains one double bond. - The transcript incorrectly states that palmitic acid is an example of MUFA, when in fact, palmitic acid is a saturated fatty acid. - **Conclusion:** This statement is incorrect. 6. **Analyzing Lecithin and Glycolipids:** - Lecithin is a phospholipid found in cell membranes, and glycolipids like gangliosides also play a role in cell membrane structure. - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. ### Final Conclusion: The analogy that is wrong is the one regarding oleic acid being classified as MUFA and incorrectly associating palmitic acid with it. Therefore, the third option is incorrect.
