Give scientific reasons :In the preparation of glucose from sucrose, ethyl alcohol is added at the time of cooling.

Answer»

Hydrolysis of sucrose with dilute hydrahloric acid gives glucose along with fructose.

Ethyl alcohol is added at the time of cooling in the preparation of glucose, to separate glucose from fructose. 

Glucose being insoluble in alcohol, crystallizes out first, while fructose being more soluble in alcohol, remains in the solution.

Assertion: Hydrolysis of sucrose brings about a change in sign of rotation from dextro to laevo. Reason: Hydrolysis always changes the optical rotation of a compound.A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.C. If assertion is true but reason is false.D. If both assertion and reason are false.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Sucrose is dextrotatory but after hydrolysis gives dextrorotatory glucose and laevorotatory fructose . Since laevorotation of fructose `(-92.4^(@))` is more than dextrorotatory of glucose `(+52.5^(@))` , hence the mixture is laevorotatory.

Aspartame, an artificial sweetener, is peptide and has the following structure : .A. Identify the four functional groupsB.C.D.

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C::D
`H_(2)N-underset(underset(underset("Aspartame(Aspartamine)")(CH_(2)-COOH))(|))(CH)-CONH-overset(overset(CH_(2)-C_(6)H_(5))(|))(CH)-COOCH_(3)`
(i) in aspartame four functional groups are present which are
(a) `-NH_(2)` (Amine)
(b) `(-COOH)` (Carboxylic acid)
(c) `-overset(overset(O)(||))(C)-NH(2^(@)"amide")`
(d) `-overset(overset(O)(||))(C)-O-("Ester")`
(ii) Zwutter ion structure is given as below :
`H_(2)overset(+)(N)-underset(underset(CH_(2)-COO^(-))(|))(CH)-CONH-overset(overset(CH_(2)C_(6)H_(5))(|))(CH)-COOCH_(3)`
(iii) `H_(2)N-underset(underset(CH_(2)COOH)(|))(CH)-overset(overset(O)(||))(C)-NH-overset(overset(CH_(2)C_(6)H_(5))(|))(CH)-COOCH_(3) overset("Hydrolysis") (rarr)`
`H_(2)N-underset(underset(underset((a))(CH_(2)COOH))(|))(CH)-COOH + H_(2)N-underset((b))overset(overset(CH_(2)C_(6)H_(5))(|))(CH)-COOH`
Hence on hydrolysis two amino and (a) and (b) are obtained.
(iv) In above to amino acids `NH_(2)- underset(underset(CH_(2)-H_(5)C_(6))(|))(CH)-COOH` is more hydrophobic due to presence of non-polar `C_(6)H_(5)-CH_(2)-` or benzyl group.

Holoenzyme is the complete enzyme consisting of an apoenzyme and a co-factor. Select the option that correctly identifies the nature of apoenzyme and co-factor.A. `{:("Apoenzyme","Co-factor"),("Protein" ,"Non-protein"):}`B. `{:("Apoenzyme","Co-factor"),("Non-protein" ,"Protein"):}`C. `{:("Apoenzyme","Co-factor"),("Protein" ,"Protein"):}`D. `{:("Apoenzyme","Co-factor"),("Non-protein" ,"Non-protein"):}`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Enzyme may be broadly classified into two types depending on their chemical composition-simple enzymes and conjugated enzymes are wholly made up of proteins and any additional substance or group is absent, e.g., pepsin, trypsin, etc. Conjugated enzymes (or holoenzymes) are formed of two parts -a protein part called apoenzyme and a non-protein part named co-factor. The complete conjugated enzyme consisting of an apoenzyme and a co-factor is called holoenzyme. Holoenzyme is the functional unit of enzyme.
`underset(("Active enzyme"))("Holoenzyme")rarr underset(("Protein part"))("Apoenzyme")+underset(("Non-protein part"))("Co-factor")`
Co-factor may be inorgainc or roganic in nature. Catalytic activity is lost when co-factor is removed from the enzyme which indicates that it plays a crucial role in catalytic activity of enzymes.
