The right answer to this question is option D. Carotenoids are categorized into two major divisions: carotenes and beta carotenes
First, let's check option A, it says that the carotenoids include red, orange and yellow pigments, that's true, we can check that on lab for example, a vegetable that can be mentioned here are carrots, it has lots of this and it's very healthy too, and remember, there isn't a single animal that can produce carotenoids, so they need to grab it from nature.
The second option, B. says that sometimes carotenoids are sometimes called as acessory pigments, that's true too, some studies consider them acessory pigments, so, they're not alone there, there are different kinds of pigments that can be on that plant, and they're also very important for the animals. Option C refers to beta carotene as the most abundant carotene in plants, that's true too, we can also find other kinds of carotenoids on plants, but this one as it's seen in lab, is the most common one. The last one, D, isn't true, the two major divisions are: Xanthophylls and Carotenoids, beta carotenoids are a type of carotenoids, not a different group.

In the alveolus pictured above, a disease or injury to which structures would reduce the ability of oxygen to diffuse from the alveolar space to the capillary?
A. A and B
B. B and C
C. B and D
D. A and D
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>
The correct answer is option D.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Alveoli is defined as the unicellular thickened sac like structure of lungs which helps in exchange of gases in lungs. The exchange membrane of lungs comprise of three structures -
A. The epithelium cells of Alveoli,
B. The basement membrane of alveolar epithelium,
C. The endothelial layer of blood capillary.
The red blood cells described here won't cause any problems to the diffusion of gases from alveolar cavity to blood. The structures mentioned here as the type 2 cells of Alveoli which secrete lecithin, a surfactant which releases the surface tension of Alveoli. This compound prevents the Alveoli from collapsing and helps in diffusion of gases. The other structure mentioned here as D are the alveolar epithelium which is the unicellular thickened membrane of Alveoli, helping in gaseous exchange.
