Q83
Match List I with List II .tg .tg LIST I Enzymatic reaction LIST II Enzyme A. Sucrose \to Glocuse and Fructose I. Zymase B. Glucose \to ethyl alcohol and CO2_2 II. Pepsin C. Starch \to Maltose III. Invertase D. Proteins \to Amino acids IV. Diastase Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
B A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
C A-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II
D A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Let's match the enzymes with the corresponding reactions: The enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose to glucose and fructose is invertase.

So, A matches with III.

The enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of glucose to ethyl alcohol and CO(_2) (a step in fermentation) is zymase.

So, B matches with I.

The enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of starch to maltose is diastase.

So, C matches with IV.

The enzyme that breaks down proteins into amino acids is pepsin.

So, D matches with II.

So, the correct option is: Option B A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

Q84
Match List I with List II .tg .tg LIST I LIST II A. α\alpha - Glucose and α\alpha - Galactose I. Functional isomers B. α - Glucose and β - Glucose  \alpha \text{ - Glucose and } \beta \text{ - Glucose } II. Homologous C. α - Glucose and α - Fructose  \alpha \text{ - Glucose and } \alpha \text{ - Fructose } III. Anomers D. α - Glucose and α - Ribose  \alpha \text{ - Glucose and } \alpha \text{ - Ribose } IV. Epimers Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
B A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
C A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
D A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

α\alpha-Glucose and α\alpha-Galactose differ in configuration of one asymmetric carbon.

Thus they are epimers. α\alpha and β\beta-glucose differ at anomeric carbon.

Thus they are anomers.

α\alpha-Glucose and α\alpha-Fructose have different functional groups.

Thus they are functional isomers.

Q85

Match the following :

List - IList - II
(a) Beriberi (i) Riboflavin
(b) Scurvy (ii) Thiamine
(c) Cheliosis (iii) Pyridoxine
(d) Convulsions (iv) Ascorbic acid
A (i)-(c), (ii)-(d), (iii)-(a), (iv)-(b)
B (i)-(d), (ii)-(b), (iii)-(a), (iv)-(c)
C (i)-c, (ii)-(a), (iii)-(d), (iv)-(b)
D (i)-(a), (ii)-(d), (iii)-(c), (iv)-(b)
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Thiamine (vitamin B1) : Beriberi Riboflavin (vitamin B2) : Cheilosis Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) : Convulsions Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) : Scurvy

Q86
During the denaturation of proteins, which of these structures will remain intact?
A Primary
B Secondary
C Tertiary
D Quaternary
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

During the denaturation of proteins hydrogen bonds are disturbed.

As a result, the secondary and tertiary structures are destroyed but the primary structures remain intact.

Q87
The α\alpha-Helix and β\beta - Pleated sheet structures of protein are associated with its :
A tertiary structure
B quaternary structure
C primary structure
D secondary structure
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

α\alpha-helix and β\beta-pleated sheet belongs to secondary structure of protein, which have hydrogen bonds.

Q88
Which of the following statement is not true for glucose?
A Glucose gives Schiff's test for aldehyde
B Glucosse reacts with hydroxylamine to form oxime
C The pentaacetate of glucose does not react with hydroxylamine to give oxime
D Glucose exists in two crystalline forms α\alpha and β\beta
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Glucose gives negative test with Schiff reagent.

Q89
Identify the incorrect statement from the following
A Amylose is a branched chain polymer of glucose
B Starch is a polymer of α\alpha-D glucose
C β\beta-Glycosidic linkage makes cellulose polymer
D Glycogen is called as animal starch
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Amylose is a linear chain polymer of α\alpha-D-glucose while amylopectine is branched chain polymer of α\alpha-D-glucose.

Q90
Which one of the following statements is not true about enzymes?
A Enzymes are non-specific for a reaction and substrate.
B Almost all enzymes are proteins.
C Enzymes work as catalysts by lowering the activation energy of a biochemical reaction.
D The action of enzymes is temperature and pH specific.
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Enzymes are mostly proteins.

They function as catalysts in biochemical reactions by lowering the energy of activation.

They are highly specific w.r.t. temperature and pH in their action.
