Which is correct statement ?
A
Starch is a polymer of $$\alpha $$ - glucose
B
In cyclic structure of fructose, there are four carbons and one oxygen atom
C
Amylose is a component of cellulose
D
Proteins are composed of only one type of amino acids
Answer :
Starch is a polymer of $$\alpha $$ - glucose
Starch is also known as amylum which occurs in all green plants. A molecule of starch $${\left( {{C_6}{H_{10}}{O_5}} \right)_n}$$ is built of a large number of $$\alpha $$ - glucose rings joined through oxygen atom.

Chargaff’s rule states that in an organism
A
amount of adenine $$(A)$$ is equal to that of cytosine $$(C)$$ and the amount of thymine $$(T)$$ is equal to that of guanine $$(G)$$
B
amounts of all bases are equal
C
amount of adenine $$(A)$$ is equal to that of thymine $$(T)$$ and the amount of guanine $$(G)$$ is equal to that of cytosine $$(C)$$
D
amount of adenine $$(A)$$ is equal to that of guanine $$(G)$$ and the amount of thymine $$(T)$$ is equal to that of cytosine $$(C)$$
Answer :
amount of adenine $$(A)$$ is equal to that of thymine $$(T)$$ and the amount of guanine $$(G)$$ is equal to that of cytosine $$(C)$$
Chargaff’s rule states that amount of adenine $$(A)$$ is equal to that of the amount of thymine $$(T)$$ and the amount of guanine $$(G)$$ is equal to that of the amount of cytosine $$(C).$$

Which of the following pairs can be distinguished by Fehling’s solution ?
A
Glucose and fructose
B
Glucose and sucrose
C
Methanal and ethanal
D
Hydroxypropanone and benzaldehyde.
Answer :
Glucose and sucrose
Glucose is a hemiacetal, so in presence of a base ( alkaline medium is provided by Fehling’s solution ) it can develop $$ - CHO$$ group in the form of open chain structure which responds Fehling’s solution. Sucrose is a glycoside (acetal), i.e. its hemiacetal $$OH$$ groups ( one due to glucose and another due to fructose ) are not free, so it can’t attain $$ - CHO$$ group. Hence it will not respond Fehling’s solution.
218.
In both $$DNA$$ and $$RNA,$$ heterocylic base and phosphate
ester linkages are at -
A
\[C_{5}^{'}\,\] and \[C_{1}^{'}\] respectively of the sugar molecule
B
\[C_{1}^{'}\,\] and \[C_{5}^{'}\] respectively of the sugar molecule
C
\[C_{2}^{'}\] and \[C_{5}^{'}\] respectively of the sugar molecule
D
\[C_{5}^{'}\] and \[C_{2}^{'}\] respectively of the sugar molecule
Answer :
\[C_{1}^{'}\,\] and \[C_{5}^{'}\] respectively of the sugar molecule
In $$DNA$$ and $$RNA$$ heterocyclic base and phosphate
ester are at \[C_{1}^{'}\] and \[C_{5}^{'}\] respectively of the sugar
molecule.
219.
Which one of the following statements is not true regarding $$(+)$$ lactose?
A
On hydrolysis, $$(+)$$ lactose gives equal amount of $$D\left( + \right)$$ glucose and $$D\left( + \right)$$ galactose.
B
$$\left( + \right)$$ Lactose is a $$\beta {\text{ - }}$$ glucoside formed by the union of a molecule of $$D\left( + \right)$$ glucose and a molecule of $$D\left( + \right)$$ galactose.
C
$$\left( + \right)$$ Lactose is a reducing sugar and does not exhibit mutarotation.
Answer :
$$\left( + \right)$$ Lactose is a reducing sugar and does not exhibit mutarotation.
$$(+)$$ Lactose is a reducing sugar and all reducing sugar shows mutarotation.
