Which type of bond is broken during the hydrolysis of sucrose?
Hydrolysis of sucrose breaks the glycosidic bond between glucose and fructose, yielding the two monosaccharides.
What is the number of chiral carbons in the open chain form of fructose?
In its open chain form, fructose (a ketohexose) has three chiral carbons at C3, C4, and C5.
Which nucleic acid is single-stranded and involved in transcription?
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is single-stranded and synthesized during transcription from a DNA template.
Which vitamin is required for the metabolism of amino acids?
Vitamin B₆ (Pyridoxine) is a coenzyme in amino acid metabolism, particularly in transamination reactions.
Which of the following is a ketohexose?
A ketohexose is a monosaccharide with six carbon atoms and a ketone group. Fructose has a ketone group at carbon 2 and six carbons, making it a ketohexose.
What is the product when glucose reacts with nitric acid?
Nitric acid, a strong oxidizing agent, oxidizes both the aldehyde and primary alcohol groups of glucose to carboxylic acids, forming saccharic acid.
Which vitamin is involved in blood clotting?
Vitamin K is essential for the synthesis of clotting factors, aiding in blood coagulation.
How many carbon atoms are present in an aldotetrose?
An aldotetrose is a monosaccharide with an aldehyde group and four carbon atoms.
Which vitamin deficiency causes poor blood clotting?
Vitamin K deficiency impairs the synthesis of clotting factors, leading to poor blood clotting.
