Pick D: Triterpenes. Thinking through PSS- Sec G- Sec metabolites step by step rules out the lookalikes and leaves Triterpenes. Skip these: A) Monoterpenes; B) Sesquiterpenes; C) Diterpenes. For hormones and genes, match the molecule or gene to its real role, not a neighboring pathway.

Isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) is a precursor for synthesis of:

Correct option is C, Terpenoids. In PSS- Sec G- Sec metabolites problems like this, the accurate statement is Terpenoids; the others are common mix-ups. Not these: A) Alkaloids; B) Phenolics; D) Glucosinolates. Tissue transport questions usually turn on xylem vs phloem, living vs dead cells, or source vs sink.
