Which nucleic acid is involved in protein synthesis?
RNA (ribonucleic acid) plays a key role in protein synthesis, including mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA.
Which amino acid has a basic side chain?
Lysine has a basic side chain (-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-NH₂), which can accept protons.
Which enzyme deficiency causes lactose intolerance?
Lactase deficiency prevents the hydrolysis of lactose into glucose and galactose, leading to lactose intolerance.
Which vitamin acts as a coenzyme in redox reactions?
Vitamin B₂ (Riboflavin) is a precursor to FAD and FMN, coenzymes involved in redox reactions.
Which monosaccharide produces an optically inactive product upon reduction?
Fructose, a ketohexose, reduces to form mannitol and glucitol, but its symmetry in some contexts yields optically inactive products; it’s a reducing sugar with unique properties.
Which disaccharide is found in sugarcane?
Sucrose, composed of glucose and fructose, is the primary sugar in sugarcane.
Which of the following is a disaccharide?
Lactose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose, linked by a glycosidic bond.
Which of the following is an example of a globular protein?
Hemoglobin is a globular protein, spherical in shape and soluble in water, involved in oxygen transport.
Which monosaccharide forms a five-membered ring in its cyclic structure?
Fructose forms a five-membered furanose ring in its cyclic form, analogous to furan.
Which monosaccharide forms a six-membered ring in its cyclic structure?
Glucose forms a six-membered pyranose ring in its cyclic form, analogous to pyran, due to the reaction between C1 and C5.
