Answer the following queries about proteins‐ (i) How are proteins related to amino acids?(ii) When is protein said to be denatured? |
|
Answer» (i) Proteins consist of large number of amino acids linked to each other by peptide linkage, having 3‐ dimensional structure. Thus, proteins are biopolymers of amino acids. (ii) When nature proteins are subjected to the action of heat, acids or alkalies, they are coagulated or precipitated. The protein in this state is said to be denatured. During denaturation process the water soluble form of globular protein change to water insoluble fibrous protein. |

The vitamin which is water-soluble and is an anitoxidant isA. vitamin EB. vitamin CC. vitamin `B_(1)`D. vitamin D |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B Vitamin `C` is also called ascorbic acid. It is believed to cure common cold. Citrus fruits are a good source of vitamin `C`. Scurvy is caused due to the deficiency of ascorbic acid which does not possess a carboxy group but contains a five membered lactone, ring Vitamin `C`, a water soluble vitamin, is as an antioxidant because it acts as a free - radical inhibitor in a human body. All the water- soluble vitamins function as coenzymes except vitamin `C`. vitamin `C` is required by a living body in farily high amount and most mammals except human and guniea pig are albe to synthesize it. Vitamin `E` is fat - soluble and is an antioxidant as it also acts as a free-radical inhibitor in a human body. The chemical name of vitamin `E`, which does not function as a coenzymes, it tocopherol. Deficiency of vitamin `E` cases sterility. Vitamin `C` traps radicals formed in aqueous environment while vitamin `E` traps radicals formed in nonpolar environment. Vitamin `B_(1)` is also known as thiamine of anitneutirc factor. Beriberi is casued due to the deficiency of vitamin `B_(1)` which contains both `N` and `S`. Note that vitamin `B_(2)` contains only nitrogen. Rice coverings or husks are rich in Vitamin `B_(1)`. Vitamin `D`, fat-soluble vitamin, regulates the metabolism of calcium and phosphate. Deficiency of vitamin `D` in human i.e., the deficiency fo vitamin `D` causes rickets. Excess of vitamin `D` in human body causes calcification of soft tissues particularly in the kidneys. Vitamin `D` is formed in the skin as a result of photochemical reactions of 7 - dehydrocholesterol casued by the ultraviolet rays from the sun.. |
