A
cytosine and thymine
B
cytosine and uracil
C
cytosine and adenine
D
cytosine and guanine
Answer :
cytosine and thymine
The pyrimidine bases present in $$DNA$$ are cytosine and thymine.
54.
Which is not a true statement ?
A
$$\alpha $$ - carbon of $$\alpha $$ - amino acid is asymmetric
B
All proteins are found in $$L$$ - form
C
Human body can synthesize all proteins they need
D
At $$pH = 7$$ both amino acids and carboxylic groups exist in the ionised form
Answer :
All proteins are found in $$L$$ - form
All proteins are not found in $$L$$ - form but they may be present in form of $$D$$ or $$L.$$
55.
All of the following statements apply to proteins except
A
Proteins generally have no definite melting point
B
Proteins contain the grouping \[-CONH-\]
C
Proteins have high molecular weight
D
Proteins can only contain the elements $$C,H,O$$ and $$N.$$
Answer :
Proteins can only contain the elements $$C,H,O$$ and $$N.$$
Statement (D) is not correct. Some proteins also contain $$S,$$ with $$C, H, O$$ and $$N.$$
56.
Invert sugar is
A
a type of cane sugar
B
optically inactive form of sugar
C
mixture of glucose and galactose
D
mixture of glucose and fructose in equimolar quantities
Answer :
mixture of glucose and fructose in equimolar quantities
No explanation is given for this question. Let's discuss the answer together.
57.
On hydrolysis of starch, we finally get
A
glucose
B
fructose
C
Both (A) and (B)
D
sucrose
Answer :
glucose
Starch is hydrolysed with dilute acids or enzymes and break down to molecules of variable complexity and finally gives $$D$$ - glucose.
$$\mathop {{{\left( {{C_6}{H_{10}}{O_5}} \right)}_n}}\limits_{{\text{Starch}}} \to \mathop {{{\left( {{C_6}{H_{10}}{O_5}} \right)}_{n'}}}\limits_{{\text{Diastase}}} \to $$ $$\mathop {{C_{12}}{H_{22}}{O_{11}}}\limits_{{\text{Maltose}}} \to \mathop {{C_6}{H_{12}}{O_6}}\limits_{{\text{D}}\,{\text{ - glucose}}} $$
58.
An example of biopolymer is
A
teflon
B
neoprene
C
nylon-66
D
$$DNA$$
Answer :
$$DNA$$
All living cells contains nucleoproteins, i.e. substances made up of proteins combined with
biopolymers ( known as nucleic acids ). Nucleic acids are biologically important polymers which are present in all living cells. $$DNA$$ is the polymer of nucleotides.
59.
On boiling the egg, what structural changes are taking place in the egg white?
A
The colour of the egg changes from colourless to white.
B
$${2^ \circ }$$ and $${3^ \circ }$$ structures are destroyed but $${1^ \circ }$$ structure remains intact.
C
$${1^ \circ },{2^ \circ }$$ and $${3^ \circ }$$ structures of egg are destroyed.
D
A reversible change takes place which can be reversed by decreasing the temperature.
Answer :
$${2^ \circ }$$ and $${3^ \circ }$$ structures are destroyed but $${1^ \circ }$$ structure remains intact.
During denaturation of proteins, $${2^ \circ }$$ and $${3^ \circ }$$ structures are destroyed but primary structure remains intact.
60.
The correct statement in respect of protein haemoglobin is that it
A
acts as an oxygen carrier in the blood
B
forms antibodies and offers resistance to diseases
C
enzymes are specific biological catalysts that can normally function at very high temperature $$\left( {T \sim 1000K} \right)$$
D
enzymes are specific biological catalysts that possess well-defined active sites
Answer :
acts as an oxygen carrier in the blood
Haemoglobin acts as an oxygen carrier in the blood since it reacts with oxygen to form unstable oxyhaemoglobin which easily breaks to give back haemoglobin and oxygen.
