Q4.
Assertion (A): GLUT-4 is one of the essential protein for bioenergetics of the cell.
Reason (R): GLUT-4 enables glucose transport into cell.
Q5.
Assertion (A): Starch can be stained with iodine but cellulose can not be stained by iodine although both are homopolymer of glucose monomers.
Reason (R): Cellulose does not contain complex helices so can not hold iodine molecules.
Q6.
Assertion (A): Cellulose is a homopolymer, while chitin is a heteropolymer.
Reason (R): Cellulose is made up of identical monomers while chitin is made up of variable monomer units.
Q7.
Assertion (A): A nucleotide is an assemblage of three distinct components.
Reason (R): Nucleotide is made up of a heterocyclic compound, monosaccharide and nitrogenous base.
Q8.
Assertion (A): Adenine and Guanine are substituted purines.
Reason (R): In Adenine and Guanine purine heterocyclic ring has either amino or amino and oxy groups.
Q9.
Assertion (A): All living organisms from bacteria to human being show a dynamic state of body constituents.
Reason (R): Such dynamic state of body constituents keep maintain the level of energy and biochemicals required for livingness.
Q10.
Assertion (A): Living state is a non equilibrium steady state to be able to perform work.
Reason (R): Any system of equilibrium can not work and living organisms work continuously so they can not afford to reach equilibrium.
Q11.
Assertion (A): In enzyme catalysed reaction there is obligatory formation of an E-S complex.
Reason (R): Such complex formation is a transient phenomenon which leads to creation of transition state structure in which bond making/breaking is completed.
Q12.
Assertion (A): The activity of an enzyme can be affected by change in the conditions which can alter the tertiary structure of the protein.
Reason (R): Tertiary structure of protein helps in determination of structural specificity of an enzyme.
Q13.
Assertion (A): When inhibitor closely resembles the substrate in its molecular structure and inhibit the activity of the enzyme then it is known as competitive inhibitor.
Reason (R): Due to close structural similarity with the substrate the inhibitor compete with the substrate for active sites of enzymes.
Q14.
Assertion (A): Metal ions are important for functioning of cells.
Reason (R): Metal ions may act as cofactor for several enzymes.
Q15.
Assertion (A): Codon for methionine & tryptophan said to be degenerate.
Reason (R): Methionine and tryptophan amino acids coded by more than one codons.
Q16.
Assertion (A): Glucose is commonest sugar which provides energy on hydrolysis.
Reason (R): Glucose is the precursor of all the types of carbohydrates.
Q17.
Assertion (A): All monosaccharides are reducing sugar.
Reason (R): Monosaccharides contain free aldehyde or free ketonic group.
Q18.
Assertion (A): Cholesterol is an important biochemical.
Reason (R): Cholesterol is parental steroid it plays important role in the synthesis of other biologically active steroid hormones.
Q19.
Assertion (A): Constant diameter of DNA double helix is 20 Å.
Reason (R): Purines always pair with pyrimidines and vice-versa.
Q20.
Assertion (A): Sucrose is known as invert sugar.
Reason (R): Sucrose is a disaccharide.
Q21.
Assertion (A): All monosaccharides give Benedict's test.
Reason (R): All monosaccharides contain free aldehyde or ketonic group.
Q22.
Assertion (A): Amino acids are interlinked by hydrogen bonds to form secondary structure in a polypeptide chain.
Reason (R): Beta pleated sheet and alpha helices are secondary structures shown by polypeptide chain.
Q23.
Assertion (A): Enzymes have active sites and substrates has reactive sites, on their surfaces respectively.
Reason (R): Active and reactive sites push the enzyme and substrate molecules away from each other.
Q24.
Assertion (A): Enzymes are defined as biological proteins.
Reason (R): Chemically all enzymes are globular proteins (with few exceptions).
Q25.
Assertion (A): Water accounts for about 80 to 90% of a plant cell's expansion.
Reason (R): Enzymes are active in hydrated medium only.
Q26.
Assertion (A): Deoxyribose, C₅H₁₀O₄ is not exactly hydrate of carbon.
Reason (R): Carbohydrates are hydrates of carbon so compounds which follow Cₓ(H₂O)ᵧ formula are carbohydrates.
Q27.
Assertion (A): All the polysaccharides are homopolymers.
Reason (R): All the polysaccharides contain repeating units of glucose.
Q28.
Assertion (A): In solutions of different pH, the structure of amino acids changes.
Reason (R): A particular property of amino acids is the ionizable nature of –NH₂ and –COOH groups.
Q29.
Assertion (A): Dietary proteins are the source of essential amino acids.
Reason (R): Amino acids are organic compounds containing an amino group and an acidic group as substituents on the same carbon.
Q30.
Assertion (A): Lipids separate in the macromolecular fraction of a cell.
Reason (R): Lipids are associated with membranes in a cell.
Q31.
Assertion (A): Enzyme catalysed reactions proceed at rates vastly higher than that of uncatalysed ones.
Reason (R): Enzymes require an optimum temperature and optimum pH to work efficiently.
Q32.
Assertion (A): The starch-I₂ is blue in colour.
Reason (R): Starch forms helical secondary structures and can hold I₂ molecules in the helical portion.
Q33.
Assertion (A): With the increase in substrate concentration, the velocity of the enzymatic reaction rises at first but ultimately reaches a maximum velocity which is not exceeded by any further rise in concentration of the substrate.
Reason (R): The enzyme molecules are fewer than the substrate molecules and after saturation of these molecules, there are no free enzyme molecules to bind with the additional substrate molecules.
Q34.
Assertion (A): Dietary proteins are the source of essential amino acids.
Reason (R): All essential amino acids are aromatic.
