(a)
Interpretation:
Nicotine is an alkaloid or not has to be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
Alkaloids are organic compounds that contain nitrogen atom in it and are extracted from plant material. Alkaloid means “like a base”. This says that alkaloids react with acids. More than 5000 compounds are isolated from plants and they are physiologically active. They all nearly contain
