1)Which disaccharide is found in the sugar cane?

A: Maltose
B: Sucrose
C: Lactose
D: Isomaltose

Right Answer Explanation

Sucrose is found in the stems of sugar cane and the roots of sugar beet.

2)Which of the following lipids is a mixture of long chain alkanes

with odd number of Carbons and alcohols, ketones and esters?

A: Acylglycerols
B: Terpenoids
C: Waxes
D: Phospholipids

Right Answer Explanation

Waxes are a mixture of long chain alkanes with odd number of Carbons and
alcohols, ketones and esters.Waxes prevent plants from water loss and provides
water barrier for animals and insects.

3)Carbon combines with nitrogen in amino acid linkages to form

which of the following?

A: Ester bonds
 B: Glycosidic bonds
C: Peptide bonds
D: Hydrogen bonds

Right Answer Explanation

Peptide bond is formed between two amino acids as shown in the figure below.

4)The bond formed between carboxylic acid and alcohol is called?

A: Ester bond
B: Amide bond
C: Phosphate bond
D: Ionic bond

Right Answer Explanation

Ester bonds are the bonds formed on a reaction between a carboxyl group of
fatty acids and hydroxyl group of triglycerol.

5)Which of the following is true about haemoglobin?

A: It is a globular protein.
B: It has quaternary level of protein structure.
C: It has haem units.
 D: All of the above.

Right Answer Explanation

Hemoglobin's quaternary structure comes from its four subunits in roughly a
tetrahedral arrangement. In most vertebrates, the hemoglobin molecule is an
assembly of four globular protein subunits. Each subunit is composed of a
protein chain tightly associated with a non-protein heme group. It is water soluble

6)Which form of RNA delivers the information from DNA to be used

in making a protein?

A: Messenger RNA
B: Ribosomal RNA
C: Transfer RNA
D: All options are correct.

Right Answer Explanation

Messenger RNA is a large family of RNA molecules that convey genetic
information from DNA to the ribosome, where they specify the amino acid
sequence of the protein products of gene expression.

7)Nucleic acids are related with which of the following?

A: Respiration
B: Photosynthesis
C: Heredity
D: Circulation

Right Answer Explanation

Nucleic acids are polymeric macromolecules, or large biological molecules,
essential for all known forms of life. Nucleic acids, which include DNA and RNA,
are made from monomers known as nucleotides. They transfer genetic
information.
8)Which of the following shows a monosaccharide, a disaccharide
and a polysaccharide in the sequence?

A: Starch ; Glucose ; Sucrose

B: Starch ; Sucrose; Glucose
C: Sucrose; Glucose ; Starch
D: Glucose; Sucrose; Starch

Right Answer Explanation

Glucose is a monosaccharide.
Sucrose is a disaccharide.
Startch is a polysaccharide.

9)Which bond is present in the tertiary structure of proteins?

A: Ionic Bond
B: Hydrogen bond.
C: Disulfide bond.
D: All of the above.

Right Answer Explanation

Tertiary structure of proteins has all of the mentioned types of bonds.

10)Acylglycerols like fats and oils are esters formed by

condensation reaction between:

A: Fatty acids and water

B: Fatty acids and glucose
C: Fatty acids and alcohol
D: Fatty acids and phosphates
