Question 42. Epimerase belongs to which of the following classes of enzymes? 
  1.    Hydrolases
  2.    Ligases
  3.    Isomerases
  4.    Oxidoreductases
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Isomerases
:
C
Epimerasesare isomerase enzymes that catalyze the inversion of stereochemistry in biological molecules.
Hydrolasesare hydrolytic enzymes, biochemical catalysts that use water to cleave chemical bonds, usually dividing a large molecule into two smaller molecules.
Ligases are enzymes that can catalyze the joining of two large molecules by forming a new chemical bond, usually with accompanying hydrolysis of a small energy molecule like ATP.
Oxidoreductasesare enzymes that catalyzes the transfer of electrons from one molecule, the reductant, also called the electron donor, to another, the oxidant, also called the electron acceptor. This group of enzymes usually utilizes NADP or NAD+ as cofactors.
Question 43. A protein conjugated to a carbohydrate is a ___.
  1.    Lecithoprotein
  2.    Glycoprotein
  3.    Lipoprotein
  4.    Metalloprotein
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Glycoprotein
:
B
A protein conjugated with a carbohydrate is a glycoprotein.
Lecithoproteins are proteins conjugated to lecithin. Lipoproteins are proteins conjugated to lipids and metalloproteins are proteins conjugated to metals.
Question 44. The chemical reaction between an amino group and the carboxylic group is called a ___.
  1.    Condensation (dehydration) reaction
  2.    Peptide bond formation 
  3.    Hydrolysis
  4.    Oxidation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Condensation (dehydration) reaction
:
A
An amino group reacts with the carboxyl group, forming a bond and leading to the elimination of a water molecule. This type of reaction, which involves two molecules binding to each other with eliminatiion of water is called a condensation reaction. This type of reaction is common between two amino acids, leading to the formation of a peptide bond. The general term for such reactions is condensation and the reaction can be termed peptide bond formation only when it involves two amino acids.
Hydrolysis is the reverse reaction of condensation, this involves the breakdown of a large molecule into two smaller molecules by the addition of water.
And oxidation is reaction involving addition of oxygen or loss of hydrogen.
Question 45. Which of the following is not a plasma protein?
  1.    Albumin
  2.    Globulin
  3.    Fibrinogen
  4.    Actin
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Actin
:
D
Actin is a contractile protein found in muscles. Albumin is a carrier protein found in blood plasma. Globulins are proteins that form the antibodies. And fibrinogen is a clotting factor found in blood. Therefore all the other proteins except actin are plasma proteins.
Question 46. Fats or triglycerides are formed by:
  1.    Condensation reaction between the carboxylic acid groups of glycerol and fatty acids
  2.    Polymerization of fatty acids
  3.    Condensation reaction leading to removal of -H groups from glycerol and the -OH group from fatty acids
  4.    The COOH group of glycerol and H of fatty acid
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Condensation reaction leading to removal of -H groups from glycerol and the -OH group from fatty acids
:
C
Fats or triglycerides are a form of simple lipids. Shown here is the condensation reaction between glycerol and fatty acids to form a triglyceride.
Fats or Triglycerides Are Formed by:
Question 47. An example for a saturated fatty acid, present in nature is ___.
  1.    Oleic acid
  2.    Linoleic acid
  3.    Linolenic acid
  4.    Palmitic acid
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Palmitic acid
:
D
Oleic acid -An Example For A Saturated Fatty Acid, Present In Nature IsÂ..., linoleic acid -An Example For A Saturated Fatty Acid, Present In Nature IsÂ...,linolenic acid -An Example For A Saturated Fatty Acid, Present In Nature IsÂ...,palmitic acid -An Example For A Saturated Fatty Acid, Present In Nature IsÂ....
Saturatedmonocarboxylic acids forma homologous series which has a general formulaAn Example For A Saturated Fatty Acid, Present In Nature IsÂ... orAn Example For A Saturated Fatty Acid, Present In Nature IsÂ.... Although all the fatty acids mentioned here are present in nature, onlypalmitic acid follows this formula, all others are unsaturated fatty acids.
Question 48. In an organism, the rate of a reaction is enhanced by biocatalysts called_____.
  1.    Synthesizers 
  2.    Enzymes
  3.    Electron transporters
  4.    Converters
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Enzymes
:
B
In an organism, biochemical reactions or metabolic activities related to physiology are enhanced by biocatalysts called enzymes. Enzymes are proteins whichare very specific both in their activity and targets.
Question 49. The difference between alpha and beta forms of pyranose ring is that
  1.    The oxygen atoms are more in alpha form
  2.    They are mirror images of each other
  3.    In the  β form, the OH group in the 1 position (the far right) is down, and, in the α form, the OH group in the 1 position (the far right) is up
  4.    In the α form, the OH group in the 1 position (the far right) is down, and, in the β form, the OH group in the 1 position (the far right) is up
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> In the α form, the OH group in the 1 position (the far right) is down, and, in the β form, the OH group in the 1 position (the far right) is up
