Biochemistry: Solved Exercise and Think-Tank

 Question 2: Give short answers.

I. Decide, whether sucrose is a disaccharide or monosaccharide. Give reason.

Answer.

Since, sucrose on hydrolysis gives two molecules of  monosaccharaides or simple sugars (glucose and fructose), so it a disaccharide. e.g.

Question: What is a dextrose sugar?

Answer.

The sugar  that rotates plan of plan polarized light in right direction (clockwise) is called dextrose sugar. It is also known as common name of  D-glucose . It is abundant in nature and mainly obtained from starch.

iii. Write the formula of an amino acid and identify the functional groups in it.

Answer. 

NH2-C(R)H-COOH 

Functional groups: i. Amino group (-NH2) ii. Carboxyl group (-COOH)

iv. What is peptide bond?

A chemical bond between amino group of one amino acid and carboxylic group of an other amino acid molecule is called peptide bond. 

OR 

A chemical bond which joins two amino acids molecules together is calleda peptide bond. 

For example, 

NH2C(R)H---CO----NH---C(R)H-COOH 

v. Which compounds are included lipids?

vi. What is the function of DNA?

Answer.

DNA replicates itself during cell growth. The main function of DNA  is to store genetic information and to transmit it from generation to generation. It synthesis RNA which reads, decodes and genetic information from DNA to synthesis new protein. 

Question: Distinguish between mono. di- and tri-saccharide. Give example.

Answer.

Monosaccharaides

Monosaccharide are simple sugars which can not be further hydrolyzed. 

These carbohydrates are water soluble.

They are reducing sugar.

They are sweet in taste.

Examples. Glucose, fructose etc.

Disaccharides

Disaccharides can be hydrolyzed to two monosaccharide units.

Shielding Effect (Grade 9 Students) and its trend in Periodic Table.

Question: What is shielding  effect? Give its trends in the periodic table. Answer . Shielding Effect  The decrease in force of attraction between nucleus  and valence electrons due to presence of inner shell electrons is called shielding effect.  It is also known as screening effect. It increases with increase in inner shell electrons. For example, Mg has greater shielding effect than Be. This is because Mg has eight more inner-shell electrons than Be. Trend in Periodic Table In period As we move from left to right in a period, shielding effect remains constant. Reason is that the number of inner shell electrons remains constant along the period. In group As we move from top to bottom in a group, shielding effect increases. This is due to fact that the number of inner shell increases and hence, inner shell electrons also increase. For example, Na has greater shielding effect than Li because of eight more inner shell electrons than Li...
