Which of the following statements is not true?

APheromones are secreted outside the body by the insects
BAspirin in analgesia and antipyretic
CSucrose is a dipeptide commonly known as asparatame
DThe DNA assists in the synthesis of RNA molecules
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Sucrose is a dipeptide commonly known as asparatame
Check each statement. $A$ is true because pheromones are chemical signals released outside the body and used for communication in insects. $B$ is true because aspirin acts as an analgesic and antipyretic. $C$ is false because sucrose is a disaccharide, whereas aspartame is an artificial sweetener made from amino acid derivatives, not a dipeptide named sucrose. $D$ is true because DNA serves as the template for synthesis of RNA. **Therefore, the statement that is not true is $C$.**
