Which statement about enzymes is not corect ?A. They act as a biocatalyst i.e., they accelerate biochemical reactionsB. They are usually globular proteinsC. Their catalytic efficiency is temperature dependentD. They can catalyse andy chemical reaction

Answer» Correct Answer - D
The reactant of an enzyme-catalysed reaction is called a substrate. An enzyme has an active site wherine the substrate fits specifically. The specificity of an enzyme results from the conformation of the protein, and the particular amino acid side chain that makes up the active site.
The specificity of an enzyme for its substrate in an example of molecular recognition. The specificity of an enzyme for its substrate is explained by a lock- and key model. Some enzymes are specific for a single substrate while some enzyme catalyse the reactions of an entire family of compounds with related structures.
An enzyme brings all the reaction groups together at its active site and helps proper positioning of these groups fort the reactions ot take place easily. Some of the amino acid side chains of the enzymes are in proper position relative to the substrate to assist its reaction as an intermolecular catalyst. An enzymes binds a substrate at its active side and there after undergoes a conformational change to impart a strain in the substrate to make it more reactive.
Enzymes have optimum activity at body temperature.

Cane sugar on hydrolysis givesA. glucose onlyB. fructose onlyC. glucose and fructoseD. glucose and galactose

2023.

Which of the following statements is correct?A. Freshly prepared solution of cane sugar, under the influence of acid catalyst, undergoes change in optical rotations with lapse of time. This phenomenon is called inversionB. Cane sugar and invert sugar are dextrorotatory and laevorotatory.C. The major and invert sugar present in honey is invert sugar.D. All of these

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Hydrolysis of cane sugar (or `(+)-` sucrose) is accompanied by a change in the sign of rotation from positive to negative. Therefore, it is often called the inversion of `(+) -` sucrose
The laevorotatory mixture of `(D) - (+) -` glucose and `D - (-) -` fructose obtained has been called invert sugar.
Honey is mostly invert sugar, the bees supply the invertase.
2024.

Invert sugar is an equimolar mixture ofA. D- frustose and L- fructoseB. D- glucose and L- glucoseC. D- glucose and L- fructoseD. D- glucose and D- fructose

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Aqueous solution of cane sugare (sucrose) is dextrorotatory, `(alpha)_(D) = + 66.5^(@)`. On hydrolysis with dilute acid of enzyme invertase, cane sugar gives equimolar mixture of `D - (+)-` glucose and `D - (-) -` fructose.
`underset([alpha]_(D)=+66.5^(@))underset("Sucrose")(C_(12)H_(22)O_(11)+H_(2)O) overset(HCl)rarr underset([alpha]_(D)=+52.5^(@))underset("D-glucose")(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6))+underset([alpha]_(D)=-92.4^(@))underset("D-fructose")(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6))`
Sucrose is dextrorotatory but hydrolysis gives dextrorotatory glucose and laevorotatory fructose.
Since the laevorotation of fructose `(-92.4^(@))` is more than dextrorotation of glucose `(+ 52.5^(@))`, the mixture is laevorotatory. Thus, hydrolysis of sucrose bring about a change in the sign of rotation, from dextro `(+)` to laevo `(-)` and such a change is known in inversion and the mixture is known as invert sugar.
