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.

In mevalonate pathway, how many acetyl-CoA molecules condense to form IPP?

Answer: B) Three. For PSS- Sec G- Sec metabolites, remember the key idea and you’ll land on this option; the distractors usually swap cause and effect or confuse similar terms. Avoid: A) Two; C) Four; D) Five. Name the process first, then pick the option that describes it — don’t reverse cause and effect.
