A.
Lycopene
B.
Alfoxin
C.
Nicotine
D.
Aspargine
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
The major transportable form of amino acid is Aspargine.
Asparagine is one of the important amino acids for the long-distance transport of nitrogen (N) in plants.
Asparagine is α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an α-amino group, an α-carboxylic acid group, and a side chain carboxamide, classifying it as a polar, aliphatic amino acid.
It is non-essential in humans, meaning the body can synthesize it. It is encoded by the codons AAU and AAC.
