Q. After grinding a living tissue in trichloroacetic acid and then staining it, you would obtain two fractions, i.e. acid soluble fraction and acid insoluble fraction. Acid insoluble fraction does not contain

Biomolecules

Solution:

Flavonoids and alkaloids are secondary metabolites. These are with very less molecular weight (i.e. less than $1000$ dalton). Thus, are not found in acid insoluble fraction, as this fraction comprises of biomacromolecules.
