(A) Invertase → Cane sugar into glucose (B) Zymase → Glucose into ethanol (C) Diastase → Starch into maltose (D) Maltase → Maltose into glucose
Biomolecules
(A) Molisch test is for carbohydrates (B) Biuret test is for proteins/peptide (C) Carbylamine test is for primary amine (D) Schiff’s test is for aldehyde
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
-Glucose and -Galactose differ in configuration of one asymmetric carbon.
Thus they are epimers. and -glucose differ at anomeric carbon.
Thus they are anomers.
-Glucose and -Fructose have different functional groups.
Thus they are functional isomers.
Match the following :
| List - I | List - II | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (a) | Beriberi | (i) | Riboflavin |
| (b) | Scurvy | (ii) | Thiamine |
| (c) | Cheliosis | (iii) | Pyridoxine |
| (d) | Convulsions | (iv) | Ascorbic acid |
Thiamine (vitamin B1) : Beriberi Riboflavin (vitamin B2) : Cheilosis Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) : Convulsions Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) : Scurvy
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.
-helix and -pleated sheet belongs to secondary structure of protein, which have hydrogen bonds.
Glucose gives negative test with Schiff reagent.
Amylose is a linear chain polymer of -D-glucose while amylopectine is branched chain polymer of -D-glucose.
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.
