Question

Match the following:

 

• A. I-D, II-A, III-B, IV-C
• B. I-C, II-D, III-B, IV-A
• C. I-D, II-C, III-B, IV-A
• D. I-D, II-C, III-A, IV-B

Hint:

Remember common microbial products: - it{Aspergillus} → Citric Acid - it{Acetobacter} → Acetic Acid - it{Clostridium} → Butyric Acid - it{Lactobacillus} → Lactic Acid

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Microbial Products
Each microorganism is responsible for the production of a specific organic acid:
Aspergillus produces citric acid (D).
Acetobacter produces acetic acid (C).
Clostridium produces butyric acid (B).
Lactobacillus produces lactic acid (A).
Step 2: Matching Correctly
Matching each organism to its respective product:

\[ I - D, \quad II - C, \quad III - B, \quad IV - A. \]

Answer 2

To solve the problem, we need to correctly match the microorganisms in Table I with the corresponding acids in Table II.

1. Understanding the Organisms and Acids:
We are given the following microorganisms and acids:

• Aspergillus (I): This genus of fungi is known to produce Citric acid (D) during fermentation.
• Acetobacter (II): This bacterium is known for producing Acetic acid (C) during fermentation.
• Clostridium (III): This genus of bacteria produces Butyric acid (B) during fermentation.
• Lactobacillus (IV): This bacterium is known for producing Lactic acid (A) during fermentation.

2. Analyzing the Correct Pairing:
The correct matchings based on the acids produced by these microorganisms are: 
I (Aspergillus) = D (Citric acid)
II (Acetobacter) = C (Acetic acid)
III (Clostridium) = B (Butyric acid)
IV (Lactobacillus) = A (Lactic acid)

Final Answer:
The correct option is (C) I - D, II - C, III - B, IV - A.
