How will you distinguish `1^(@)` and `2^(@)` hydroxyl groups present in glucose? Explain the reactions.

Answer» Glucose forms a pentacetyl derivative on reaction with acetic anhydribe. This shows the presence of five -OH groups in its molecule. With a strong oxidising agent like conc. `HNO_(3)`, glucose is oxidised to a dicarboxylic acid saccharic acid with six carbon atoms. This shows that its molecule has a primary alcoholic group. We may conclude that it has one primary alcoholic group and four secondary alcoholic group in its molecule.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
(B) In a RNA molecule the sugar compoent is D-ribose.
2377.

The sugar unit present in the nucleotides of `RNA` isA. L- riboseB. L- ribuloseC. D- riboseD. L-ribose

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The sugar is `D-` ribose in the group of nucleic acids known as ribonucleic acis `(RNA)`, and `D -2` dexoyribose in the group known as dexyribonucleic acids `(DNA)`. The profix 2- dexoy simply indicates the lack of an `-OH` group at the 2-position. The sugar units are in the furanose form, and are joined to phosphate through the `C - 3` and `C - 5` hydroxyl groups.
Thus, the ribose sugar that takes part in the formation of `RNA` is actually `beta -D` ribofuranose while the sugar unit present in is actually `beta -D` ribofuranose while the sugar unit present in a `DNA` molecule is actully 2 - deoxy - `alpha-D`- ribofuranose.
