Question
(a) Differentiate between
a. Nucleotide and Nucleoside
b. Amylose and Amylopectin
(b) Write a reaction which shows that all the carbon atoms in glucose are linked in a straight chain.
(c) Write two differences between DNA and RNA.
(d) Amino acids can be classified as $\alpha-, \beta-, \gamma-, \delta-$ and so on depending upon the relative position of the amino group with respect to the carboxyl group. Which type of amino acids forms a polypeptide chain in proteins?
(e) What are any two good sources of vitamin A?
(f) What is anomeric carbon?
(g) What is the difference between a glycosidic linkage and a peptide linkage?

Answer

Attempt any five of the following:
(i)
a. Nitrogeneous base linked with pentose sugar called as nucleoside while Nucleoside linked with phosphate group is called as nucleotide.
b. Amylose is water soluble while amylopectin is water insoluble.
(ii) On prolonged heating with HI, glucose gives n-hexane which suggest that all the six carbon atoms in glucose are linked linearly.
HOH_2 $HOH _2 C \underset{\text { Glu cose }}{( CHOH )_4 CHO }+ HI \xrightarrow{\Delta} CH _3\left( CH _2\right)_4 CH _3$
(iii)

(v) Milk, carrot
(vi)An anomeric carbon can be identified as the carbonyl carbon (of the aldehyde or ketone functional group) in the open- chain form of the sugar. It can also be identified as the carbon bonded to the ring oxygen and a hydroxyl group in the cyclic form.
(vii) Glycosidic linkage: It is the linkage which joins two monosaccharides through oxygen atom. It is present in carbohydrates.
Peptide Linkage: It is the linkage which joins two amino acids through - CO-NH- bond. It is present in proteins.

Explain the electrophilic substitution reactions of amine.
At 291 K , the molar conductivities at infinite dilution of $\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{Cl}, \mathrm{NaOH}$ and NaCl are $129.8,217.4$ and $108.9 \mathrm{S~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ respectively. If the molar conductivity of a centinormal solution of $\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{OH}$ is $9.33 \mathrm{S~cm}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$, what is the percentage dissociation of $\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{OH}$ at this dilution? Also calculate the dissociation constant of $\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{OH}$.
Synthetic detergents have advantage over usual soaps as far as cleansing power is concerned. But use of synthetic detergents over a long time creates environmental pollution. How can the pollution caused by synthetic detergents be minimised? Classify the detergents according to their chemical nature.

After watching a programme on TV about the presence of carcinogens (cancer causing agents) Potassium bromate and Potassium iodate in bread and other bakery products, Rupali a Class XII student decided to make others aware about the adverse effects of these carcinogens in foods. She consulted the school principal and requested him to instruct the canteen contractor to stop selling sandwiches, pizzas, burgers and other bakery products to the students. The principal took an immediate action and instructed the canteen contractor to replace the bakery products with some protein and vitamin rich food like fruits, salads, sprouts, etc. The decision was welcomed by the parents and the students.
After reading the above passage, answer the following questions:
  1. What are the values (at least two) displayed by Rupali?
  2. Which polysaccharide component of carbohydrates is commonly present in bread?
  3. Write the two types of secondary structures of proteins.
  4. Give two examples of water soluble vitamins.
