How do you explain the presence of an aldehydic group in a glucose molecule?
Glucose reacts with hydroxylamine to form a monoxime, and adds one molecule of hydrogen cyanide to give cyanohydrin.
Therefore, it contains a carbonyl group which can be an aldehyde or a ketone. On mild oxidation with bromine water, glucose gives gluconic acid which is a carboxylic acid containing six carbon atoms.
This indicates that carbonyl group present in glucose is an aldehydic group.
Assertion (A): Deoxyribose, C5H10O4 is not a carbohydrate.
Reason (R): Carbohydrates are hydrates of carbon so compounds which follow Cx(H2O)y formula are carbohydrates.
Aldopentoses named ribose and 2-deoxyribose are found in nucleic acids.
What is their relative configuration?
Three structures are given below in which two glucose units are linked. Which of these linkages between glucose units are between C1 and C4 and which linkages are between C1 and C6?
Assertion (A): Vitamin D can be stored in our body.
Reason (R): Vitamin D is fat soluble vitamin.

Assertion (A): In presence of enzyme, substrate molecule can be attacked by the reagent effectively.
Reason (R): Active sites of enzymes hold the substrate molecule in a suitable position.
Name the sugar present in milk. How many monosaccharide units are present in it? What are such oligosaccharides called?
Assertion (A): Glycine must’be taken through diet.
Reason (R): It is an essential amino acid.
The letters ' D ' or ' L' before the name of a stereoisomer of a compound indicate the correlation of configuration of that particular stereoisomer.

Coagulation of egg white on boiling is an example of denaturation of protein. Explain it in terms of structural changes.
Assertion (A): All naturally occurring a-amino acids except glycine are optically active.
Reason (R): Most naturally occurring amino acids have L-configuration.
