Answer» 1. Reducing sugar: All those carbohydrates which reduce Fehling’s solution and Tollens’ reagent are referred to as reducing sugars. All monosaccharides whether aldose or ketose are reducing sugars. 2. Denaturation of a protein: When 2° and 3° structure of a protein is destroyed due to the physical changes like temperature, change in pH, it is called denaturation of a protein. Example: Coagulation of egg white on boiling. 3. We take oxygen from atmosphere and release CO2 . Plants take up CO2 and H2O from the atmosphere to prepare their food in the presence of sunlight and release O2 thus O2 is replenished in atmosphere. |
