The correct Answer is:
To determine where sulfur is present, we can analyze the options provided in the question. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Compounds The question asks where sulfur is present, and we have the following options: 1. Cysteine and Methionine 2. Ferredoxin and Coenzyme A 3. All amino acids 4. None of the above ### Step 2: Analyze Option 1 - Cysteine and Methionine - **Cysteine**: This is an amino acid that contains a thiol (-SH) group, which includes sulfur. - **Methionine**: This is another amino acid that contains a sulfur atom in its structure as part of the thioether group. **Conclusion**: Both cysteine and methionine contain sulfur. ### Step 3: Analyze Option 2 - Ferredoxin and Coenzyme A - **Ferredoxin**: This is an iron-sulfur protein, meaning it contains both iron and sulfur in its structure. - **Coenzyme A**: This is a coenzyme that is derived from vitamins such as thiamine and contains a sulfur atom in its structure. **Conclusion**: Both ferredoxin and coenzyme A contain sulfur. ### Step 4: Analyze Option 3 - All Amino Acids - Not all amino acids contain sulfur. Only specific amino acids like cysteine and methionine do. **Conclusion**: This statement is false. ### Step 5: Analyze Option 4 - None of the Above - Since we have established that sulfur is present in both cysteine, methionine, ferredoxin, and coenzyme A, this option is also false. ### Final Answer Sulfur is present in both **Option 1 (Cysteine and Methionine)** and **Option 2 (Ferredoxin and Coenzyme A)**. Therefore, the correct answer is that sulfur is present in cysteine, methionine, ferredoxin, and coenzyme A. ---
