Mark the mismatched pair,

A

Cellulose: Unbranched polymer with `beta` , 1-4 glycosidic linkage

B

Cellophane: Cellulose xanthate

C

Cellophane: Exopeptidase, `Mg_(2+)` acts as a co-factor

D

Aminopeptidase: Exopeptidase, cleaves the peptide bond at N- terminal end

The correct Answer is:
To identify the mismatched pair from the given options, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first pair - Cellulose - **Statement**: Cellulose is an unbranched polymer with beta-1,4 glycosidic linkages. - **Analysis**: This statement is true. Cellulose is indeed an unbranched polysaccharide made up of β-1,4-glycosidic linkages between glucose units. ### Step 2: Analyze the second pair - Cellophane and Cellulose Xanthate - **Statement**: Cellophane is chemically similar to cellulose xanthate. - **Analysis**: This statement is also true. Cellophane is derived from cellulose and is chemically similar to cellulose xanthate, which is a derivative of cellulose. ### Step 3: Analyze the third pair - Cellophane and Exopeptidase - **Statement**: Cellophane is an exopeptidase and Mg²⁺ acts as a cofactor. - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Cellophane is not an enzyme; it is a regenerated form of cellulose used in packaging. Exopeptidases are enzymes that break down peptides into amino acids, and while Mg²⁺ can act as a cofactor for some enzymes, it does not apply to cellophane. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth pair - Aminopeptidase - **Statement**: Aminopeptidase is an exopeptidase that cleaves peptide bonds from the N-terminal. - **Analysis**: This statement is true. Aminopeptidase is indeed an exopeptidase that removes amino acids from the N-terminal end of peptides. ### Conclusion After analyzing all the pairs, we find that the mismatched pair is: - **Cellophane is an exopeptidase** (This is incorrect). Thus, the answer is option C. ---
