General Instructions :

Read the following instructions carefully and follow them :

  1. This question paper contains 15 questions. All questions are compulsory.
  2. This question paper is divided into 4 sections.
  3. Section A – questions number 1 to 3 are case based questions
  4. Section B – questions number 4 to 12 are multiple choice questions
  5. Section C – questions number 13 to 13 are very short answer
  6. Section D – questions number 14 to 15 are short answer
  7. There is no overall choice given in the question paper. However, an internal choice has been provided in few questions.
  8. Use of calculator is NOT allowed.

Section A

Question 1. Carbohydrates are essential for life in both plants and animals. Carbohydrates are used as storage molecules as starch in plants and glycogen in animals. Chemically they are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones. On the basis of their behaviour on hydrolysis, carbohydrates are classified as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. All monosaccharide like glucose is aldohexose and its molecular formula was found to be C6H12O6. After reacting with different reagents like HI, H2N OH, Bromine water, (CH3CO)2O, etc. its structure was found to contain one aldehyde group, one primary alcoholic group, (CH2OH) and four secondary alcoholic groups (CHOH). Despite having the aldehyde group, glucose does not give some of the reactions of aldehyde group like Schiff addition. This explains the existence of glucose in two cyclic hemiacetal forms which differ only in the configuration of the hydroxyl group at C 1.

Question 3.

Carbohydrates are essential for life in both plants and animals. Carbohydrates are used as storage molecules as starch in plants and glycogen in animals. Chemically they are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones. On the basis of their behaviour on hydrolysis, carbohydrates are classified as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. All monosaccharides are reducing sugars, meaning they can be oxidized by Tollens' reagent and Fehling's solution. monosaccharides are reducing sugars, meaning they can be oxidized by Tollens' reagent and Fehling's solution. A monosaccharide like glucose is aldohexose and its molecular formula was found to be C6H12O6. After reacting with different reagents like HI, H2N OH, Bromine water, (CH3CO)2O, etc. its structure was found to contain one aldehyde group, one primary alcoholic group, ( CH2OH) and four secondary alcoholic groups ( CHOH). Despite having the aldehyde group, glucose does not give some of the reactions of aldehyde group like Schiff's test ,NaHSO3 addition. This explains the existence of glucose in two cyclic hemiacetal forms which differ only in the configuration of the hydroxyl group at C 1.
