(d) Whole animal kingdom have the common ability to produce D-glucuronic acid

I had been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

This question is from Drugs Biotransformation topic in portion Biotransformation of Drugs of Drug Biotechnology

Answer 1

Right choice is (d) Whole animal kingdom have the common ability to produce D-glucuronic acid

The best I can explain: The statement d is false since all the mammals have the ability to produce glucuronides. D-glucuronic acid is readily available and can be easily conjugated with other functional groups.
