 SECTION D

The following questions are case-based questions. Read the case carefully and
answer the questions that follow.

29. Ribose and 2-deoxyribose have an important role in biology. Among the
most important derivatives are those with phosphate groups attached at
the 5 position. Mono-, di- and tri-phosphate forms are important, as well
as 3-5 cyclic monophosphates. Purines and pyrimidines form an
important class of compounds with ribose and deoxyribose. When these
purine and pyrimidine derivatives are coupled to a ribose sugar, they are
called nucleosides.

30. According to the generally accepted definition of the ideal solution there
are equal interaction forces acting between molecules belonging to the
same or different species. (This is equivalent to the statement that the
activity of the components equals the concentration.) Strictly speaking,
this condition is fulfilled only in exceptional cases for mixtures (optical
isomers, isotopic mixtures of an element, hydrocarbon mixtures). It is
still usual to talk about ideal solutions as limiting cases in reality since
very dilute solutions behave ideally with respect to the solvent. This view

describing the behaviour of the solvent in dilute solutions can be deduced

thermodynamically via the assumption of ideal behaviour of the solvent.
