Biomolecules are organic compounds essential for life; they are found in all living organisms. In chemistry class 12, we talked about the following biomolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, enzymes, and vitamins. 

Biomolecules chemistry class 12 connects biology and chemistry and helps us understand metabolism, heredity, and biochemical reactions.

You must use the NCERT for the CBSE Class 12 board exams. The NCERT textbook is enough for understanding the Biomolecules. All concepts, definitions, and reactions asked in the exams are directly covered in the textbook. We have provided NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry, Biomolecules, as well as for better practice.

However, for competitive exams like NEET and JEE, while NCERT remains an important resource, students should also solve additional questions from reference books like MTG NCERT at Your Fingertips, NCERT Exemplar, or practice modules by coaching institutes. These help build speed, accuracy, and deeper conceptual clarity

DNA and RNA both are the types of nucleic acids.

  • DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) store the genetic  information.

  • RNA (Ribonucleic acid) helps in protein synthesis. It carry and translates the genetic codes.

We know that nucleic acids are biomolecules which is responsible for carrying the genetic information in living organisms. Nucleic acids have various properties, including physical, chemical and biological properties. 

Physical Properties

Nucleic acids are macromolecular in nature because they have a high molecular weight. They are water-soluble but insoluble in alcohol. Also, nucleic acids can absorb ultraviolet light at 260 nm because they have nitrogenous bases.

Chemical Properties

  • Acidic in nature
  • Hydrolysis
  • Base pairing
  • Negative charging

Biological Properties

  • Stores and transfers genetic information
  • The genetic code of every organism i

Nucleic acids are biomolecules which is made of nucleotides. They store and transmit the genetic information. Nucleic acids are of two types: DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (Ribonucleic acid). The following are the functions of nucleic acids.

1. They store and transfer the genetic information.

2. Nucleic acids help in protein synthesis

All monosaccharides which differ in configuration at C? and C? gives the same osazone. Since, glucose and fructose differ from each other only in configuration at C? and C? therefore, they give the same osazone. All other options given in the questions do not satisfy this condition and hence, do not from the same osazone.
