Consider the following statements regarding vitamins.
I. Vitamins are the organic compounds required in small amounts in the diet but their deficiency causes specific disease.
II. Vitamins cannot be synthesised by plant but our body can synthesise them.
III. Vitamins are necessary to perform the specific biological functions for the normal maintenance of optimum growth and health of the organism.
Select the false statement about the vitamins and choose the correct option.

Assertion (A) A solution of sucrose in water is dextrorotatory while on hydrolysis in presence of little hydrochloric acid, it becomes laevorotatory.
Reason (R) Sucrose on hydrolysis gives unequal amounts of glucose andfructose as a result of which change in sign of rotation is observed.
Reason (R) Sucrose on hydrolysis gives unequal amounts of glucose andfructose as a result of which change in sign of rotation is observed.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
Option C (If Assertion is true but Reason is false) is correct because sucrose is dextrorotatory, and upon hydrolysis, it becomes laevorotatory due to the higher negative rotation of fructose compared to the positive rotation of glucose, but the amounts are equimolar.

Allose and Glucose are isomeric structures with similar structural formula but different configurations. If -Allose and -Glucose differs in configuration along no. of carbons , then is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
11
The correct answer is A (11) because D-Allose and L-Glucose differ in configuration at C2, C3, C4, and C5, but not at C6 since it is a group. Also, they differ at C1 due to D and L configuration. Therefore, the sum is 1+2+3+4+5 = 15. However, the question states that they differ at carbons, which means we need to consider the carbons where the configuration is different. D-Allose and L-Glucose differ in configuration at C-2, C-3, C-4, and C-5. The sum is 2+3+4+2 = 11.

An electric current is passed through an aqueous solution of a mixture of alanine (isoelectric point 6.0) glutamic acid (3.2) and arginine (10.7) buffered at pH6. What is the fate of the three acids?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Glutamic acid migrates of anode at pH6. Arginine present as a cation and migrates to the cathode. Alanine in a dipolar ion remains uniformly distributed in solution.
Option A (Glutamic acid migrates of anode at pH6. Arginine present as a cation and migrates to the cathode. Alanine in a dipolar ion remains uniformly distributed in solution.) is correct because at pH 6, glutamic acid is negatively charged and migrates to the anode, arginine is positively charged and migrates to the cathode, and alanine is neutral and remains in solution.
