#1
Front (Question)

glucose 2 forms

Back (Answer)

alpha and beta

#2
Front (Question)

why do primary structures of proteins remain?

Back (Answer)

Due to change in pH or temp, all other structures are destroyed = denaturing of proteins

Back (Answer)

A,D,E,K

#4
Front (Question)

Glucose formula

Back (Answer)

C6H12O6

#5
Front (Question)

Back (Answer)

B and C

#6
Front (Question)

Lactose formula

Back (Answer)

C12H22O11

#7
Front (Question)

Lactose forms

Back (Answer)

Glucose and galactose

#8
Front (Question)

Why is CHO in pentaacetate not available for reaction?

Back (Answer)

Since it is a part of reactions of aldehydic group like reaction with HCN, Tollen’s etc..

#9
Front (Question)

Why is melting points and solubility in water of amino acids more than halo acids?

Back (Answer)

Due to dipolar force and H bonding with water hence it exists as a Zwitter ion

#10
Front (Question)

why can’t vitamin C be stored in our body?

Back (Answer)

water soluble so it is excreted regularly

#11
Front (Question)

Types of monosaccharides

Back (Answer)

aldoses and ketoses

#12
Front (Question)

What are reducing sugars?

Back (Answer)

sugars which act as reducing agents and reduce Fehling’s sol and Tollen’s reagent

Ex for reducing sugars

Back (Answer)

All monosaccharides and disaccharides like , glucose, fructose, lactose except sucrose

#14
Front (Question)

Main functions of carbs in plants

Back (Answer)

Cell walls are made of cellulose Carbs are stored as starch as food reserve
