To determine which option is incorrectly matched, let's analyze each pair:

Analysis of Options

  • A. Fungi – Chitin: This is correct. Fungi have cell walls made of chitin.
  • B. Phospholipid – Plasma Membrane: This is also correct. Phospholipids are key components of the plasma membrane.
  • C. Enzyme – Lipopolysaccharide: This is incorrect. Enzymes are proteins that catalyze reactions, while lipopolysaccharides are components of bacterial cell walls.
  • D. ATP – Nucleotide derivative: This is correct. ATP is indeed a nucleotide derivative.
  • E. Antibody – Glycoprotein: This is correct. Antibodies are glycoproteins that play a role in the immune response.

Conclusion

The wrongly matched option is C. Enzyme – Lipopolysaccharide.
