Biomacromolecules in the acid-insoluble pool typically have molecular weight
Aabove 10,000 Da
Bunder 100 Da
Cexactly 1000 Da
Dbetween 1 and 10 Da
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. above 10,000 Da
NCERT splits cellular molecules at the 1000-Da mark. Small molecules (acid-soluble) sit below 1000 Da; biomacromolecules (acid-insoluble) are well above 10,000 Da. The 10,000-Da floor is the textbook benchmark.
