Interpretation:
The reactive oxygen species (ROS) among the given species should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Reactive Oxygen Species: They are reactive radical species results from molecular oxygen. They results from electron transport chain in cell respiration of mitochondria.
Mitochondria: It is a membrane bound organelle present within the cell cytoplasm of the eukaryotes.
They are also known as power houses of the cell since
Electron transport chain

If we heat oleandrin in a solution of acidic water, what would remain attached to the steroid skeleton? Select the correct answer. E он он A Oleandrin is a toxic cardiac glycoside found in the poisonous plant, oleander (Nerium oleander L). It has a very long IUPAC name: acetic acid [(35,5R, 10S,13R,14S,16S, 17'R)-14-hydroxy-3-[[(2R,4S,5S,6S)-5-hydroxy-4-methoxy-6-methyl- 2-tetrahydropyranyl]oxy]-10,13-dimethyl-17-(5-oxo-2H-furan-3-y)-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,15,16,17- tetradecahydrocyclopenta[a]phenanthren-16-yl) ester F D E D E OH B он B он (a) no reaction он A (b) он он OH он OH он E он он (c) C он но (d)arrow_forward
