Q-5 - 11486976
The correct statement(s) about the following sugars (X) and

(Y )is / are:
(A) (X) is a reducing sugar and (Y ) is a non-reducing
sugar.
(B) (X) is a non-reducing sugar and (Y ) is a reducing
sugar.
(C) The glucosidic linkage in (X) and (Y ) are α and β ,
respectively.
(D) The glucosidic linkages in (X) and (Y ) are β and α,
respectively.
CORRECT ANSWER: B::C
SOLUTION:
In ' X' the glycosidic linkage is between two anomeric
C atoms, while in Y it is only with one anomic carbon,
the other one is free. So, ' X' will be non-reducing while
' Y ' will be reducing. Again the glycosidic linkage in X
is between α − fuctose, in Y , one of the glucose units is
α.

Q-12 - 12580678
The two forms of `D-glucopyranose obtained from solution of D-
glucose are known as:
(A) anomers
(B) epumers
(C) enantiomers
(D) geometrical isomers
CORRECT ANSWER: A
SOLUTION:
The D-glucose exists as α − D( + )-glucose and
β − D( + )- glucose which differ only at C1 position of
OH and called anomers.
Q-13 - 12979673
In an aqueous solutions of D − glucose the percentages of α and β
anomers at the equilibrium condition are respectively
(A) 64 % and 36 %
(B) 20 % and 80 %
(C) 36 % and 64 %
(D) 80 % and 20 %
CORRECT ANSWER: C
SOLUTION:
The α and β − D − glucose have different specific
rotations. When either anomer is dissolved in water their
rotation change until the same fixed value results. This
rotation change is called mutarotation.
The α and β − D − glucose are each in equilibrium
with the open chain aldehyde form and therefore with
each other.
α − D − Glucose
⇔ aldehyde ⇔ β
form
− D − Glucose
As each anomer begins to establish this equilibrium, its
specific rotation changes. When equilibrium is reached,
the experimentaly determined rotation remains constant.
A base such as NaOH catalyzes the attainment of the
equilibrium. Assuming that the concentration of the
open-chain form is negligible, one can, by use of the
specific rotations, calculate the precentage of the α and
β anomers, respectively Let a and b be the mole
fractions of the α − and β − anomers, respectively.
Solving the simultaneous equations
a + b = 1
112a + 18.7b = 52.7
gives
a × 100 % = 36 %
b × 100 % = 64 %
Note that these percentages, 36 % α anomer and
64 % β − another are in accord with a greater stability

for β − D − ( + ) − glucopyranose. The preference
is (what we might expect) on the basis of its having only
equatorial groups.
However the β- anomer of a pyranose is not always the
more stabel. With D- mannose, the equilibrium favours
the α − anomer, and this result is called an anomeric
effect.

Calculate the percentage compositions of the anomers in the
equilibrium mixture.
CORRECT ANSWER: ALP HA − ANOMER
= 37.2 % , BET A − ANOMER = 62.8 % .
SOLUTION:
Suppose % composition of α = x %
Suppose, % composition of β = 100 − x
∴ Optical rotation of equimixture

(x × 110)

Q-39 - 12979765
The number of hydrogen bonds formed between adenine and
thymine and that formed between guanine and cytosine are
respectively
(A) 3 and 2
(B) 2 and 3
(C) 2 and 2
(D) 3 and 3
CORRECT ANSWER: B
SOLUTION:
DNA consists of two polynucleotide stands coiled
aroung each other in a helix. The sugar - phosphate
backbone is on the outside of the helix, and the amine
bases are on the inside, so that a base on one strand
points directly in towards a base on the second strand.
The two strands run in opposite directions and are held
together by hydrogen bond between pairs bases.
Adenine (A) and thymine (T ) form two strong hydrogen
bonds to each other, but not to G or C while G and C
form three strong hydrogen bonds to each other, but not
to A or T . As a result, sample of DNA having more
GC content has higher melting temperature (Tm ).
Q-40 - 12979850
In DN A, the complementary bases are:

(A) Uracil and adenine, cytosine and guanine
(B) Adenine and thymine, guanine and cytosine
(C) Adenine and thymine, guanine and uracil
(D) Adenine and guanine, thymine and cytosine
CORRECT ANSWER: B
SOLUTION:
DNA is a dimeric polymer, in which two polynucleotide
chains are entwined in a double helix On hydrolysis, it is
found that although the ratio of bases vary from on
DNA to another, the ratios of C : G and A : T are
always 1 : 1 (or C = G and A = T ) because the C and
A in one strand always matches the G and T
respectively in the other strand. This matching is called
base-pairing which occurs by H-conding with maximum

efficiency between a pyrimidine and a purine base,
specifically between A and T and between C and G.

Q-45 - 15202390
Glycosidic linkage is present in
(A) sucrose
(B) Starch
(C) glucose
(D) fractose
CORRECT ANSWER: A::B
SOLUTION:

Glycosidic linkage is used to connect two monomer unit
(monosaccharide) in a linear polymer.
Glucose and fructose are mono saccharide so in which
no glysidic linkage is/are present. Sucrose is
disaccharide while starch is a linear polymer of glucose
so in both glycosidic linkage is present
Q-46 - 12979838
Which one of the following sets of monosaccharides forms sucrose
?
(A) α − D − Galactopyranose and α − D −
Glucopyranose
(B) α − D − Glucopyranose and β − D −
fructofuranose
(C) β − D − Glucopyranose and β − D
fructofuranose
(D) α − D − Glucopyranose and β − D −
fructopyranose
CORRECT ANSWER: B
SOLUTION:
Acid-catalysed hydrolysis of 1 mol of surose
(C 12 H22 O11 ) yields 1 mol of D-glucose and 1 mol of an
osazone and does not undergo nonreducing sugar, it
does not form mean that neither the glucose nor the
fructose portion of sucrose has a hemiacetal group.
Thus, two hexoses must have a glycoside linkage that
involes C1 of glucose and C2 of fructose, because only
in this way will both carbonyl groups be present as full
acetals (i.e., as glycodies).
Surcose is hydrolysed by an α-glucosidase obtained
from yeast but not by β − glycosidase enzymes. This
hydrolysis indicates and α configuration at the
glycosides portion. Sucrose is aslo hydrolysed by
sucrase, and enzymes known to hydrolysis β-
fructofuranosides yields an octamethyl derivative that, on
hydrolysis, yields 2.,3,4,5,6-tetra − O − methyl-D-
fructose. The identities of these two products
demonstrate that the glucose portion is a pyranoside and
that the fructose portion is a furanoside.

Q-47 - 14535249

CORRECT ANSWER: A
SOLUTION:
