Good vision depends on adequate intake of carotene rich food. Select the best option from the following statements. (a) Vitamin A derivatives are formed from carotene.(b) The photo-pigments are embedded in the membrane discs of the inner segment.(c) Retinal is derivative of vitamin A.(d) Retinal is a light absorbing part of all the visual photopigments.
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the given statements about vision and carotene-rich food:(a) Vitamin A derivatives are formed from carotene. - Carotene is a precursor to vitamin A, which is essential for good vision. - This statement is correct.(b) The photo-pigments are embedded in the membrane discs of the inner segment. - Photo-pigments are actually embedded in the membrane discs of the outer segment of photoreceptor cells, not the inner segment. - This statement is incorrect.(c) Retinal is a derivative of vitamin A. - Retinal is indeed a derivative of vitamin A and plays a crucial role in vision. - This statement is correct.(d) Retinal is a light-absorbing part of all the visual photopigments. - Retinal is the light-absorbing molecule in visual photopigments such as rhodopsin. - This statement is correct.Now, let's determine which options include the correct statements:Option 1: (a), (c), and (d) - This option includes all the correct statements.Option 2: (a) and (c) - This option is missing statement (d).Option 3: (b), (c), and (d) - This option includes the incorrect statement (b).Option 4: (a) and (b) - This option includes the incorrect statement (b) and is missing (c) and (d).Therefore, the correct option is Option 1, which includes statements (a), (c), and (d).
