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 result, (a) and (c) are the correct answers.

Correct options are b and d.
Sucrose is a common disaccharide that breaks down into an equimolar mixture of D- (+)- glucose and D- (-)- fructose when hydrolyzed. These two monosaccharides are held together by a glycosidic bond between C1 of α - glucose and C2 of β fructose. Because the reducing groups of glucose and fructose are involved in the formation of glycosidic linkages, sucrose is a non-reducing sugar.

Correct option is C.
The links between C1 and C4 of glucose are shown as 'A' and ' C, ' respectively, whilst the linkage between C1 and C6 of the glucose units is shown as ' B. ' Furthermore, option (c) is clearly correct based on the structures.
Because ' B ' is the bond or link between the glucose units of C1 and C6 and, option (b) is wrong.
Option (a) is wrong because the relationship between C1 and C4 and is represented by 'C.'
Because 'A' is the hyperlink between C1 and C4 the glucose units of and, option (d) is wrong.

The Correct option is c.
In the cyclic structure of glucose or fructose, anomeric carbon is carbon that is close to an oxygen atom. As shown in the structure above, atoms 'a' and 'b' are close to the oxygen atom, and the hydroxyl groups of both carbon atoms have different orientations.

The Correct option is a.
In the same way as (+) glyceraldehyde has a group on the lowest asymmetric carbon on the right side, the I, II, and III structures have a (-OH) group on the lowest asymmetric carbon on the right side giving them a D-configuration.

The Correct option is c.
The absence of a free (-CHO) aldehyde group is indicated by the fact that glucose pentaacetate does not react with hydroxylamine. The open structure of glucose cannot account for this, although the open chain structure of glucose can account for all other features.

Ans: The Correct option is a.
Anomers are cyclic monosaccharide structures that differ structurally at carbon-1. In this scenario, I and II are anomers since they differ only at carbon -1.

The Correct option is d.
Adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine are the four bases found in DNA. As a result, uracil is not found in DNA as we cannot identify it among the other nucleotides that are present in the DNA. Uracil is, however, seen in RNA, another nucleic acid found in most of the organisms.

The Correct option is d.
Water-soluble vitamins are those in the B group. B group vitamins cannot be stored in our systems since they are quickly excreted; but, because they are B12 insoluble in water, our bodies may store the vitamin. Because our systems are unable to store these vitamins, options (a), (b), and (c) are excluded.

The Correct option is c.
The four bases contained in DNA are adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine. Adenine, uracil, guanine, and cytosine are the four bases of RNA. As a result, RNA does not include thymine as in place of thymine, it has uracil which is a lesser stable nucleotide base and is somewhat responsible for RNA's instability but also lends it some flexibility to change.
