Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

Glucose is known as dextrose because it occurs in nature as the optically active dextrorotatory isomer. lt is essential constituent of human blood. The blood normally contains 65 to 110mg of glucose per 100mL (hence named Blood sugar). The level may be much higher in diabetic persons. The urine of diabetic persons also contain considerable amount of glucose. ln combined form, it occurs in cane sugar and polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose.

Glucose has an aldehyde group (-CHO), one primary alcoholic group (-CH2OH) and four secondary alcoholic groups (-CHOH) in their structure. Due to the presence five hydroxyl groups (-OH). glucose undergoes acetylation. Glucose also undergoes oxidation with mild oxidising agents like bromine water as well as with strong oxidising agents like nitric acid. Since glucose is readily oxidised, it acts as a strong reducing agent and reduces Tollen's reagent and Fehling solution. Glucose exists in two crystalline forms: $\alpha$-D-glucose and $\beta$-D-glucose. If either of the two forms is dissolved in water and allowed to stand, the specific rotation of the solution changes gradually, until a constant value is obtained. This change is called mutarotation.

Proteins are high molecular mass complex biomolecules of amino acids. The important proteins required for our body are enzymes, hormones, antibodies, transport proteins, structural proteins, contractile proteins etc. Except for glycine, all $\alpha$-amino acids have chiral carbon atom and most of them have L-configuration. The amino acids exists as dipolar ion called zwitter ion, in which a proton goes from the carboxyl group to the amino group. A large number of $\alpha$-amino acids are joined by peptide bonds forming polypeptides. The peptides having very large molecular mass (more than 10,000) are called proteins. The structure of proteins is described as primary structure giving sequence of linking of amino acids; secondary structure giving manner in which polypeptide chains are arranged and folded; tertiary structure giving folding, coiling or bonding polypeptide chains producing three dimensional structures and quaternary structure giving arrangement of sub-units in an aggregate protein molecule.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

The aryl halides are relatively less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions as compared to alkyl halides. This low reactivity can be attributed to the following factors:

  • The C - X bond in halobenzene has a partial double bond character due to involvement of halogen electrons in resonance with benzene ring.
  • The C - X bond in aryl halides is less polar as compared to that in alkyl halides as sp2 hyridised carbon is more electronegative than sp3 hybridised carbon.

Williamson's synthesis is used for the preparation of symmetrical as well as unsymmerical ether. It is SN2 reaction mechanism. In Williamson's synthesis, 1º alkyl halide are used for preparation of ethers because 2º and 3º alkyl halide give alkene. Ethers are cleaved by hydrogen halides to alcohol and alkyl halide where alkyl halide is corresponding to that alkyl which has less number of carbon atom (it is because of less steric hindrance).

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The amines are basic in nature due to the presence of a lone pair of electron on N-atom of the -NH2 group, which it can donate to electron deficient compounds. Aliphatic amines are stronger bases than NH3 because of the +I effect of the alkyl groups. Greater the number of alkyl groups attached to N-atom, higher is the electron density on it and more will be the basicity. Thus, the order of basic nature of amines is expected to be 3º > 2º > 1º, however the observed order is 2º > 1º > 3º. This is explained on the basis of crowding on N-atom of the amine by alkyl groups which hinders the approach and bonding by a proton, consequently, the electron pair which is present on N is unavailable for donation and hence 3º amines are the weakest bases.
Aromatic amines are weaker bases than ammonia and aliphatic amines. Electron-donating groups such as -CH3, -OCH3, etc. increase the basicity while electron-withdrawing substitutes such as -NO2, -CN, halogens, etc. decrease the basicity of amines. The effect of these substituents is more at p than at m-positions.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones and those compounds which on hydrolysis give such compounds are also carbohydrates. The carbohydrates which are not hydrolysed are called monosaccharides. Monosaccharides with aldehydic group are called aldose and those which free ketonic groups are called ketose. Carbohydrates are optically active. Number of optical isomers = 2n

Where n = numberofasymmetric carbons. Carbohydrates are mainlysynthesised by plants during photosynthesis. The monosaccharides give the characteristic reactions of alcohols and carbonyl group (aldehydes and ketones). It has been found that these monosaccharides exist in the form of cyclic structures. In cyctization, the -OH groups (generally C5 or C4 in aldohexoses and C5 or C6 in ketohexoses) combine with the aldehyde or keto group.
