Name the sugar present in milk. How many monosaccharide units are present in it? What are such oligosaccharides called?
Name the sugar present in milk. How many monosaccharide units are present in it? What are such oligosaccharides called?
This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Lactose sugar is a naturally occurring sugar found in milk. D galactose and D glucose, two monosaccharide molecules, are linked together. As a result, disaccharides are the name given to these oligosaccharides.
Which of the following terms are correct about enzyme?
(a) Proteins
(b) Dinucleotides
(c) Nucleic acids
(d) Biocatalysts
Which of the following terms are correct about enzyme?
(a) Proteins
(b) Dinucleotides
(c) Nucleic acids
(d) Biocatalysts
This is a Multiple Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Correct options are a and d.
Enzymes are protein molecules that operate as biocatalysts in the body, facilitating chemical processes. The pace of the reaction is accelerated by these catalysts.
Which of the following are purine bases?
(a) Guanine
(b) Adenine
(c) Thymine
(d) Uracil
Which of the following are purine bases?
(a) Guanine
(b) Adenine
(c) Thymine
(d) Uracil
This is a Multiple Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Correct options are a and b.
Purines are made up of a six-membered nitrogen-containing ring joined with a five-membered nitrogen-containing ring.
Purine bases are guanine and adenine, while pyrimidine bases are thymine and uracil.
In fibrous proteins, polypeptide chains are held together by ___________.
(a) Van der Waals forces
(b) Disulphide linkage
(c) Electrostatic forces of attraction
(d) Hydrogen bonds
In fibrous proteins, polypeptide chains are held together by ___________.
(a) Van der Waals forces
(b) Disulphide linkage
(c) Electrostatic forces of attraction
(d) Hydrogen bonds
This is a Multiple Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Correct options are b and d.
Fibrous protein is generated when the polypeptide chain runs parallel and is held together by hydrogen and disulphide bonds.
Which of the following monosaccharides are present as a five membered cyclic structure (furanose structure)?
(a) Ribose
(b) Glucose
(c) Fructose
(d) Galactose
Which of the following monosaccharides are present as a five membered cyclic structure (furanose structure)?
(a) Ribose
(b) Glucose
(c) Fructose
(d) Galactose
This is a Multiple Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Correct options are a and c.
The cyclic structure of ribose and fructose is five-membered (furanose structures). Like compound furans, they have a five-membered ring.
Lysine,
(a) α - Amino acid
(b) Basic amino acid
(c) Amino acid synthesized in body
(d) β- Amino acid
Lysine,
(a) α - Amino acid
(b) Basic amino acid
(c) Amino acid synthesized in body
(d) β- Amino acid
This is a Multiple Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Correct options are a, b and c.
Lysine is an amino acid with the structural formula of (a).
(b) Because the number of groups (two) is more than the number of -COOH groups (one), it is a basic amino acid (one).
Because it is create
Amino acids are classified as acidic, basic or neutral depending upon the relative number of amino and carboxyl groups in their molecule. Which of the following are acidic?
Amino acids are classified as acidic, basic or neutral depending upon the relative number of amino and carboxyl groups in their molecule. Which of the following are acidic?
This is a Multiple Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Correct options are b and d.
Acidic amino acids are divided into two groups, one -COOH group against the other - NH2 group. As a result, the acidic amino acids (b) and (d) are the only ones among the supplied structures.
Which of the following carbohydrates are branched polymers of glucose?
(a) Amylose
(b) Amylopectin
(c) Cellulose
(d) Glycogen
Which of the following carbohydrates are branched polymers of glucose?
(a) Amylose
(b) Amylopectin
(c) Cellulose
(d) Glycogen
This is a Multiple Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Correct options are b and d.
Amylopectin and Glycogen are the correct choices since they are carbohydrate storage forms found in animal tissues, whereas amylose is made up of 80-85% starch. It's also a branched glucose polymer th
Proteins can be classified into two types on the basis of their molecular shape i.e., fibrous proteins and globular proteins. Examples of globular proteins are:
(a) Insulin
(b) Keratin
(c) Albumin
(d) Myosin
Proteins can be classified into two types on the basis of their molecular shape i.e., fibrous proteins and globular proteins. Examples of globular proteins are:
(a) Insulin
(b) Keratin
(c) Albumin
(d) Myosin
This is a Multiple Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Correct options are a and c.
Globular protein is a protein structure that forms when a chain of polypeptides coils around to produce a spherical shape. Insulin and albumin are two examples of water-soluble globular proteins. As a
