This is a Multiple Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
The Correct option is a.
Proteins contain one or more polypeptide chains. When each polypeptide of a protein's amino acids is joined in a precise order, a proteins' main structure is referred to as its primary structure. This one is the linear structure with no bonds other than the ones between adjacent amino acids. The sequence of amino acids in the primary structure is pre-determined by the genetic code of an individual and thus is a specific sequence.

The Correct option is c.
The pyranose form of glucose, which has a five-membered ring structure, is found. As a result, option (c) is wrong.
Glucose is a six-carbon monosaccharide with an aldehyde group. As a result, it's referred to as an aldohexose. As a result, the statement in option (a) is correct.
When glucose is cooked with HI, n-hexane is produced. All six carbon atoms in glucose are linked together in a straight chain during this procedure. As a result, the statement in option (b) is correct.
The aldehyde group is not free in the cyclic structure. As a result,

The Correct option is b.
Nucleic acids are nucleotide polymers linked together by phosphodiester linkage. DNA and RNA are two examples. Nucleotides are formed by linking of nucleosides with three phosphate groups consuming a significant amount of energy making it an endothermic reaction.

(a) 5′ and 3′ linkages are present between pentose sugars of nucleotides.
Phosphodiester links the two nucleotides together to form a dinucleotide.
Between the pentose sugars of nucleotides, there are 5′ and 3′ connections. In the process of adding phosphate to a dinucleotide, a significant quantity of energy is consumed.

Ans: The Correct option is b.
The structure described in option (b) reflects sucrose, which has a C1−C2 glycosidic bond between α−D− glucose and β−D− fructose.
This is a non-reducing sugar since the reducing groups of glucose and fructose are involved in the creation of glycosidic linkages.

The configuration of different anomers at C-I is distinct. It is known as the form if the hydroxyl group (-OH) is present on the right side of anomeric carbon, and it is known as the? form if the hydroxyl group is present on the left side. As a result, option (c) represents anomers among all the supplied pairs.
