Five-membered ring structures of fructose are given below. Mark the incorrect statement.
A
The five-membered ring structures are named as furanose structures.
B
The cyclic structures represent two anomers of fructose.
C
Five-membered ring structures are named as pyranose structures.
D
These are also called Haworth structures.
Answer :
Five-membered ring structures are named as pyranose structures.
Five-membered rings are named as furanose while six-membered rings are named as pyranose rings.
115.
Which one of the following vitamins is water-soluble?
A
Vitamin - $$B$$
B
Vitamin - $$E$$
C
Vitamin - $$K$$
D
Vitamin - $$A$$
Answer :
Vitamin - $$B$$
Vitamins are classified as
(i) Fat soluble vitamin - $$A, D, E, K$$
(ii) Water soluble vitamin - $$B$$ complex, $$H$$ and $$C$$
So, vitamin - $$B$$ is water soluble.
116.

A
3
B
5
C
4
D
1
Answer :
5
Glucose contains 1 primary and 4 secondary alcoholic groups which get acetylated by 5 acetate groups.

Which of the following carbohydrates is not related to $$\left( + \right) - $$ glucose ?
A
Amylopectin
B
Amylose
C
Inulin
D
Glycogen
Answer :
Inulin
Inulin is a polysaccharide of fructose, while all others are polysaccharides of glucose ;
although all the four has same molecular formula, $${\left( {{C_6}{H_{10}}{O_5}} \right)_n}.$$
118.
The reason for double helical structure of $$DNA$$ is operation of
A
dipole - dipole interaction
B
hydrogen bonding
C
electrostatic attractions
D
van der Waals’ forces
Answer :
hydrogen bonding
$$DNA$$ consists of two polynucleotide chains, each chain forms a right handed spiral with ten bases in one turn of the spiral. The two chains coil to double helix and run in opposite direction held together by hydrogen bonding.

Phospholipids are esters of glycerol with
A
one carboxylic acid residue and two phosphate groups
B
three phoshate groups
C
three carboxylic acid residues
D
two carboxylic acid residues and one phosphate groups
Answer :
two carboxylic acid residues and one phosphate groups
Phospholipids are esters of glycerol with two carboxylic acid residue and one phosphate group.
Hence, phospholipids may be regarded as derivative of glycerol in which two hydroxyl groups are esterified with fatty acid, while third is esterified with phosphoric acid.
