Q1 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ
Glucose on prolonged heating with HI gives
a-hexane
b1-hexene
cHexanoic acid
d6-iodohexanal
✓ Correct answer: a) -hexane
ExplanationGlucose on prolonged heating with HI (hydroiodic acid) undergoes a complete reduction reaction.HI is a strong reducing agent that removes all the oxygen atoms (from the aldehyde and hydroxyl groups) and replaces them with hydrogen atoms.This results in the formation of a straight-chain alkane with six carbon atoms, which is n- hexane (C₆H₁₄).

PYQ
Which of the following statement is not true for glucose? [JEE Main 2020, 8 Jan (Shift 1)]
aGlucose exists in two crystalline forms and
bGlucose gives Schiff's test for aldehyde
cGlucosse reacts with hydroxylamine to form oxime
dThe pentaacetate of glucose does not react with hydroxylamine to give oxime
✓ Correct answer: b) Glucose gives Schiff's test for aldehyde
ExplanationThe statement that is not true for glucose is that glucose gives Schiff's test for aldehyde.Here is an analysis of each statement: A. Glucose exists in two crystalline forms α and β: This statement is true.Glucose forms cyclic hemiacetal structures and can exist in two anomeric forms, α-D-glucopyranose and β-D- glucopyranose.B. Glucose gives Schiff's test for aldehyde: This statement is not true (false).Although glucose has an aldehyde group in its open-chain structure, in an aqueous solution, it predominantly exists in a stable cyclic (pyranose) form where the aldehyde group is involved in a hemiacetal linkage and is not free to react with Schiff's reagent.Thus, it gives a negative Schiff's test.C. Glucose reacts with hydroxylamine to form oxime: This statement is true.Because the cyclic form of glucose can exist in equilibrium with a small amount of the open-chain form, it can still undergo some reactions characteristic of aldehydes, such as reacting with hydroxylamine (NH2O ) to form an oxime.D. The pentaacetate of glucose does not react with hydroxylamine to give oxime: This statement is also true.In glucose pentaacetate, the aldehyde group is protected by acetylation, and all hydroxyl groups are also acetylated.This prevents the formation of the open-chain structure required to react with hydroxylamine to form an oxime.
Q3 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ
Which of the following statements is not true about RNA? [JEE Main 2019, 12 Apr (Shift 1)]
aIt has always double stranded α-helix structure
bIt usually does not replicate
cIt is present in the nucleus of the cell
dIt controls the synthesis of protein
✓ Correct answer: a) It has always double stranded α-helix structure
ExplanationRNA is usually single-stranded and does not form a double-stranded α-helix structure.Double-stranded RNA is rare and occurs only in some viruses.
Q4 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ
Which of the following are not secondary metabolites in plants? [NEET 2021]
aAmino acids, glucose
bVinblastin, curcumin
cRubber, gums
dMorphine, codeine
✓ Correct answer: a) Amino acids, glucose
ExplanationAmino acids, glucose are not secondary metabolites rather they are the examples of primary metabolites.Rest all other belongs to secondary metabolites.
Q5 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ
Water present in human body is
a60-65 %
b50-55 %
c75-80 %
d65-70 %
✓ Correct answer: d) 65-70 %
ExplanationCorrect answer: Option D Water is the most abundant component of living cells, making up 60–95% of a cell’s total mass, depending on the cell type.In the human body, water is a major constituent of both intracellular fluid (inside cells) and extracellular fluid (blood plasma, lymph, and interstitial fluid).On average, about 65– 70% of the human body weight is water.This high water content is essential for maintaining cell turgor, biochemical reactions, nutrient transport, and temperature regulation.Organs like the brain, kidneys, and muscles contain a higher percentage of water, whereas bones and fat have lower water content.Water also provides a medium for enzymes to function and facilitates the movement of solutes, gases, and waste products.Thus, considering the average water content in the human body, the correct option is D – 65– 70%.
Q6 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ
Which protein found in maximum amount?
aCatalase
bZinc carbonic anhydrase
cTransferase
dRuBisCO
✓ Correct answer: d) RuBisCO
ExplanationRuBisCO (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) is widely considered the most abundant protein on Earth (in the biosphere).It is a critical enzyme involved in the first major step of carbon fixation during photosynthesis in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, converting atmospheric carbon dioxide into organic molecules.Its essential role in sustaining life and the vast amount of plant biomass on the planet means it is produced in large quantities, making up a significant percentage (up to 50%) of total soluble protein in plant leaves.A. Catalase: Catalase is a highly efficient enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide, protecting cells from damage, and is found in most living organisms.B. Zinc carbonic anhydrase: Carbonic anhydrase is a very fast-acting enzyme vital for maintaining acid-base balance and transporting carbon dioxide in biological systems.C. Transferase: Transferases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the transfer of functional groups between molecules and are involved in many biochemical pathways.This is a general class of enzymes.
Q7 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ
Which one of the following is not a constituent of cell membrane?
aGlycolipids
bProline
cPhospholipids
dCholesterol
✓ Correct answer: b) Proline
ExplanationProline is an amino acid and is not a structural component of the cell membrane.Cell membranes mainly contain phospholipids, glycolipids, proteins, and cholesterol.Answer: B — Proline
