Chemistry - Biomolecules Question with Solution | TestHub
(a) What are anomers. Give the structures of two anomers of glucose.
(b) What do you understand by denaturation of protein.
(c) Give the Haworth structure of glucopyranose.
(d) Name the vitamin responsible for coagulation of blood.
(e) Why sucrose called invert sugar?
Solution:
(a) Anomers are stereoisomers differing in configuration at the anomeric carbon. glucose and glucose.
(b) Denaturation is the loss of protein structure due to external stress, leading to loss of function
(c)
glucopyranose
(d) vitamin k is the primary vitamin responsible for blood coagulation.
(e) Sucrose is called invert sugar because it's hydrolysis result's in an equimolar mixture of glucose and fructose that has a different or inverted optical rotation while natural sucrose rotates PPL to the right, the resulting glucose and fructose mixture rotate it to the left, due to fructose stronger levorotatory effect.
