Total Questions : 30 | Page 1 of 3 pages
Question 1.


In both DNA and RNA, heterocyclic base and phosphate ester linkages are at


  1.     C5 and C2 respectively of the sugar molecule
  2.     C2 and C5 respectively of the sugar molecule
  3.     C1 and C5 respectively of the sugar molecule
  4.     C5 and C1 respectively of the sugar molecule
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> C1 and C5 respectively of the sugar molecule
:
C
Option (c)
In Both DNA And RNA, Heterocyclic Base And Phosphate Ester L...
You can see that the base is at the C1 carbon and the phosphate linkage is at the C5 carbon.
 
Question 2.


Molisch's test is done for the detection of?


  1.     Alkyl halide
  2.     Carbohydrate
  3.     Alkaloid
  4.     Fat
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Carbohydrate
:
B
(b)
Molisch's test is done for the detection of carbohydrate bond formation.


Question 3.


A substance forms zwitter ion. It can have which of the following functional groups?


  1.     NH2,COOH   
  2.      NH2,SO3H 
  3.     Both
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Both
:
C
Option (c)
A substance tht forms Zwitter ion can have functional groups NH2COOH and NH2NH2SO3H  
Question 4.


An example of a sulphur containing amino acid is


  1.     Lysine
  2.     Serine
  3.     Cysteine
  4.     Tyrosine
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Cysteine
:
C
Option (c)
An Example Of A sulphur Containing Amino Acid Is
You can clearly see that cysteine is the only amino acid from the options given which contains a sulphur in its structure. You can remember this by going back to the video of the secondary structure of proteins where we talka about the Disulphide linkages which gives shape to the protein sheets. 
Question 5.


Cane sugar on hydrolysis gives 


  1.     Glucose and maltose
  2.     Glucose and lactose
  3.     Only glucose
  4.     Glucose and fructose
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Glucose and fructose
:
D
Option (d)
C12H22O11Canesugar+H2OC6H12O6Glucose+C6H12O6Fructose
Question 6.


Starch is a polymer of 


  1.     Glucose
  2.     Fructose
  3.     Both (a) and (b)
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Glucose
:
A
Option (a)
Starch is a condensation polymer made up of hundreds of glucose monomers 
Question 7.


An indigestible carbohydrate, which is also a constituent of our diet, is


  1.     Cellulose
  2.     Galactose
  3.     Maltose
  4.     Starch
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Cellulose
:
A
We cannot digest cellulose, which is a polysaccharide. Our digestive system is not capable of digesting this tough carbohydrate. However, herbivorous animals like cows are well-equipped to do just that. 
Question 8.


αD glucose and βD glucose differ from each other due to difference in one of the carbons with respect to its


  1.     Size of hemiacetal ring
  2.     Configuration
  3.     Number of -OH groups
  4.     Conformation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Configuration
:
B
Option (b)
α−D− glucose And β−D− Glucose Differ From Each O...
It is clear from the above picture that there is no other difference in these 2 structures other than the difference at the C-1 carbon, which can be attributed to the difference in the configuration of the carbon. This carbon is referred to as the anomeric carbon to highlight this important feature. 
Question 9.


On heating glucose with Fehling's solution we get a precipitate whose colour is


  1.     Yellow
  2.     Red
  3.     Black
  4.     White
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Red
:
B
Option (b)
Glucose + Fehling solution ® Gluconic acid + Cu2O(Redppt)
 
Question 10.


Which of the following is the sweetest sugar?


  1.     Glucose
  2.     Fructose
  3.     Lactose
  4.     Sucrose
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Fructose
:
B
Option (b)
Sugar Relative sweetness order-
Sucrose 100
Glucose 74
Lactose 16
Fructose 173
From this, it is clear that Fructose is the sweetest.
You might have guessed it's either Sucrose and Fructose from experience, but between these 2 we will need some proper experimental techniques to determine which is the sweeter one.
