1 MARK QUESTIONS

Read the passage and answer the following questions:

All proteins are made of α- amino acids which act as building blocks.α – amino acids that are synthesized in the body are
known as non –essential α amino acids while the one which the body fails to synthesize are the essential α-amino acids. All
of them exists as dipolar ions .for all α-amino acids there is a certain ph of the medium at which the dipolar ions behave as
electrically neutral species .

1) Name an essential amino acids .

2) Define isoelectric point.

16. ASSERTION: The two strands in double strand helix structure of DNA are complementary to each other.

REASON: Disulphide bonds are formed between specific pairs of bases.

17. ASSERTION: Glucose reacts with hydroxylamine to form oxime and also adds a molecule of hydrogen cyanide to give
cyanohydrins.

REASON: The carbonyl group present in the open chain structure of glucose is an aldehydic group.

18. ASSERTION: Glucose and fructose can be distinguished by silver mirror test.

REASON: Glucose contain aldehydic group while fructose contain ketonic group.

19. ASSERTION: Reaction of both glucose and fructose with excess of phenylhydrazine gives the same osazone.

REASON: Both glucose and fructose are monosaccharides in nature.

20. ASSERTION: All naturally occurring α-amino acids except glycine are optically active.

REASON: Most naturally occurring amino acids have L- configuration.
