The incorrect statement regarding enzymes is :
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Enzymes are polysaccharides.
Option D (Enzymes are polysaccharides) is correct because enzymes are proteins, not polysaccharides.

Which of the following statements regarding carbohydrates are correct?

(i) Lactose is the carbohydrate found in milk.

(ii) More than 25 monosaccharides occur naturally.

(ii) Sucrose on hydrolysis gives one molecule each of glucose and fructose.

(iv) Maltose is a non-reducing sugar whereas sucrose is a reducing disaccharide sugar.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
(i) and (iii)
Option B ((i) and (iii)) is correct because lactose is found in milk, and sucrose hydrolysis yields glucose and fructose. Maltose is a reducing sugar, and only about 20 monosaccharides occur naturally.

Number of cyclic tripeptides formed with 2 amino acids AA and BB is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
2
Option B (2) is correct because with two amino acids A and B, only two cyclic tripeptides can be formed: AAA and BBB. Other combinations like AAB, ABA, BAA, BBA, BAB, ABB are not cyclic tripeptides formed with only 2 amino acids.
34 Hard

The bonds between Guanine and Cytosine
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
3-H bonds
Option B (3-H bonds) is correct because Guanine and Cytosine are held together by three hydrogen bonds in DNA and RNA.

DNA multiplication is called as
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
replication
Option D (replication) is correct because DNA multiplication is the process of creating two identical copies of DNA from one original DNA molecule, known as replication.

Identify incorrect statement regarding glucose.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
α\alpha-form of glucose has higher melting point than its β\beta-form
Option D is the incorrect statement because the β\beta-form of glucose has a higher melting point than its α\alpha-form.

Which of the following statements are false regarding the nature of amino acids?

A. The acidity and neutrality of amino acids is based on number of amino and carboxyl groups.

B. Both NH2\mathrm{NH}_2 and COOH\mathrm{COOH} groups of amino acids show ionizable nature.

C. In solutions of different pH\mathrm{pH}, the structure of amino acids does not change.

D. The amino acids have amino group and aldehyde group as substituents on the same carbon.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
CD\mathrm{CD}
Option B (CD) is correct because statement C is false (amino acid structure changes with pH) and statement D is false (amino acids have an amino group and a carboxylic acid group, not an aldehyde group).

Remembering +4 | -1
DNA and RNA are different molecules as:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
DNA has thymine and RNA has uracil
Option D (DNA has thymine and RNA has uracil) is correct because DNA contains the nitrogenous base thymine, while RNA contains uracil instead of thymine.

Assertion: Less intake of iodine in diet leads to enlargement of thyroid gland

Reason: iodine deficiency leads to hyperthyroidism.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both assertion and reason are correct statements, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Option A (Both assertion and reason are correct statements, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion) is correct because iodine deficiency leads to hypothyroidism, which causes the thyroid gland to enlarge in an attempt to produce more thyroid hormone.

Application +4 | -1
The optical rotation of α−D\alpha-\mathrm{D} fructose is −21∘-21^{\circ} and that of its β\beta-form is −133∘-133^{\circ}. The equilibrium mixture of these anomers has an optical rotation of −92∘-92^{\circ}. What is the %\% of α\alpha-form (upto one decimal place) in its equilibrium mixture?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
36.6
Option A (36.6) is correct because the percentage of the alpha form can be calculated using the weighted average of the specific rotations of the alpha and beta forms.
41 Hard

Which one of the following compounds is found abudnantly in nature?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Cellulose
Option D (Cellulose) is correct because cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer on Earth, forming the structural component of plant cell walls.

Which of the following is not a broad-spectrum antibiotic?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Penicillin G
Option A (Vancomycin) is correct because Vancomycin is a narrow-spectrum antibiotic, effective mainly against Gram-positive bacteria, while the others are broad-spectrum.

The strongest form of intermolecular bonding that could be formed involving the residue of the amino acid valine is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
van der Waals interactions
Option C (van der Waals interactions) is correct because valine is a nonpolar amino acid, and the strongest intermolecular forces it can form are van der Waals interactions.

Identify correct conversion during acidic hydrolysis from the following:

(A) starch gives galactose.

(B) cane sugar gives equal amount of glucose and fructose.

(C) milk sugar gives glucose and galactose.

(D) amylopectin gives glucose and fructose.

(E) amylose gives only glucose.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
(B), (C) and (E) only
Option C ((B), (C) and (E) only) is correct because cane sugar hydrolyzes to glucose and fructose, milk sugar to glucose and galactose, and amylose to glucose.

Simplest amino acid is :
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
glycine
Option A (glycine) is correct because glycine is the simplest amino acid, having only a hydrogen atom as its side chain.

Assertion : DNA as well as RNA molecules are found in the nucleus of a cell.

Reason: On heating, the enzymes do not lose their specific activity.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
Option D (If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect) is correct because DNA is a double-stranded helix and enzymes generally lose their specific activity upon heating (denaturation).

Assertion (A): Activation energy for the acid catalysed hydrolysis of sucrose is 6.22 kJ mol−16.22 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}, while the activation energy is only 2.15 kJ mol−12.15 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}. When hydrolysis is catalysed by the enzyme sucrose.

Reason (R): Enzymes the biocatalysts, reduce the magnitude of activation energy by providing the alternative path. In the hydrolysis of sucrose the enzyme sucrose reduces the activation energy from 6.22 kJ mol−16.22 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} to 2.15 kJ mol−12.15 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both A\mathrm{A} and R\mathrm{R} are correct; R\mathrm{R} is the correct explanation of A\mathrm{A}.
Option A is correct because both the Assertion and Reason are correct, and the Reason correctly explains why enzymes reduce activation energy.

Which of the following statement is correct about fructose?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
It exists in the two cyclic forms which is obtained by the addition of OH\mathrm{OH} at C−5\mathrm{C}-5 to the >C=O> \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O} group
Option B is correct because fructose forms cyclic structures through the addition of the OH group at C-5 to the carbonyl group.
