  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0

    Which of the following statements is incorrect?

    Solutions

    Glucose reacts with methyl alcohol to form two types of glycosides: α -methyl glycoside and β -methyl glycoside.

     

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0

    The following question has four choices out of which ONLY ONE is correct.

    Carbohydrates respond to

    Solutions

    Molisch's test (named after Austrian botanist Hans Molisch) is a sensitive chemical test for the presence of carbohydrates, based on the dehydration of a carbohydrate by sulphuric acid to produce an aldehyde, which condenses with two molecules of phenol (usually α -naphthol, though other phenols (e.g. resorcinol, thymol) also give colored products), resulting in a red or purple-coloured compound.

     

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0

    The glycolysis of one molecule of glucose produces

    Solutions

    In the glycolysis of glucose, two molecules of ADP get converted to two molecules of ATP.

     

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0

    Which of the following carbohydrates is not a monosaccharide?

    Solutions

    Sucrose, C12H22O11, is a disaccharide composed of D-glucose and D-fructose monosaccharides.

     

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0

    Glucose molecule reacts with 'X' molecules of phenylhydrazine to yield osazone. The value of 'X' is

    Solutions

    We know that glucose reacts with one molecule of phenylhydrazine to give phenylhydrazone. When warmed with excess of phenylhydrazine, the secondary alcoholic group adjacent to the aldehyde group is oxidised by another molecule of phenylhydrazine to a ketonic group. With this ketonic group, the third molecule of phenylhydrazine condenses to glucosazone. Therefore, the value of 'X' is 3.

     

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0

    Glucose reacts with excess of phenyl hydrazine and forms

    Solutions

    Glucose reacts with phenyl hydrazine in equimolar proportion to form phenyl hydrazone. However, with excess phenyl hydrazine, it forms glucosazone. In this reaction, one molecule of glucose reacts with three molecules of phenyl hydrazine.

     

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0

    An organic compound answers Molisch's test as well as Benedict's test, but it does not answer Seliwanoff's test. It is probably

    Solutions

    The Molisch's test confirms that the compound is a carbohydrate which rules out option (2).
    Benedict's test confirms that it is a reducing sugar which rules out option (1).

    Since it does not give a positive Seliwanoff's test [rules out option (3)], so it must be a reducing sugar containing an aldehyde group.
    So, the compound is maltose.

     

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0

    Molasses contains about 50 per cent of

    Solutions

    Molasses is a thick, dark brown juice obtained from raw sugar during the refining process. Beet molasses is 50% sugar by dry weight, predominantly sucrose, but contains significant amounts of glucose and fructose.

     

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0

    Match the statements/expressions in Column–I with the statements/expressions in Column–II and indicate your answer by selecting the appropriate option. Any statement in Column–I can correctly match with only one statement in Column–II.

    ColumnI ColumnII
    (A) α -amylose
    (B) β -amylose
    (C) Cellulose
    (D) Glycogen
    (a) Molecular weight = 10,00,000-50,00,000
    (b) Molecular weight = 20,000-5,00,000
    (c) Molecular weight = 50,000-10,00,000
    (d) Molecular weight = 1,000-10,00,000
    Solutions

    (A) α -amylose is an unbranched chain and its molecular weight = 1,000-10,00,000
    Thus, (A)–(d)
    (B) β-amylose is a branched chain and its molecular weight = 50,000-10,00,000
    So, (B)–(c)
    (C) Cellulose is an unbranched chain and its molecular weight = 20,000-5,00,000
    So, (C)–(b)
    (D) The molecular weight of glycogen = 10,00,000- 50,00,000
    Thus, (D)–(a)

     

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0

    Which of the following is a test for proteins?

    Solutions

    The Biuret reagent is made of sodium hydroxide and copper sulphate. The blue reagent turns violet in the presence of proteins, and changes to pink when combined with short-chain polypeptides. Hence, option (1) is correct.

    The Beilstein test is a simple chemical test used in chemistry as a qualitative test for halides.
    Benedict's reagent is used as a test for the presence of reducing sugars.

    Molisch's test is a sensitive chemical test for the presence of carbohydrates.
