A suitable example of terpenoids is
Correct answer: D. Steroids
- A. Sugar
- B. Waxes
- C. Starches
- D. Steroids
Explanation
Steroids are a suitable example of terpenoids, as they are derived from terpenoid precursors and share a similar biosynthetic origin. Terpenoids are a large and diverse class of organic compounds produced by plants and some animals, often having strong odours. They are built from isoprene units and include a variety of structures, such as steroids. In contrast, sugars, waxes, and starches are not terpenoids. Sugars are simple carbohydrates, waxes are long-chain fatty acid esters, and starches are polysaccharides, all distinct in their structural and functional properties from terpenoids.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
