19,000+ solved questions for JEE Advanced, JEE Mains, NEET & IChO — with answers and expert explanations.
Assertion: Activity of an enzyme is pH-dependent. Reason: Change in pH affects the solubility of the enzyme in water.
Assertion: DNA molecules and all RNA molecules are found in the nucleus of a cell. Reason: On heating, the enzymes do not lose their specific activity.
Assertion: Alpha -amino acids exist as internal salt in solution as they have amino and carboxylic acid groups in near vicinity. Reason: H ion given by carboxylic group (– COOH) is captured by amino group (–NH2) havin…
Assertion: Proteins on hydrolysis produce amino acids. Reason: Amino acids contain –NH2 and –COOH groups.
Assertion (A) Deoxyribose, C5H10O4 is not a carbohydrate. Reason: (R) Carbohydrates are hydrates of carbon so compounds which follow Cx(H2O)y formula are carbohydrates.
Assertion (A) Glucose gives reddish brown precipitate with Fehling solution. Reason (R) Reaction of glucose with Fehling solution gives CuO and gluconic acid.
Assertion: In sucrose two sugar units are joined by 1, 2-glycosidic bond Reason: It joins C1 of -glucose and C2 of -fructose by glycosidic bond.
Glucose and mannose are

Glycolysis is
Assertion: Glucose does not give 2, 4- DNP test. Reason: Glucose exists in cyclic hemiacetal form.
Sucrose in water is dextrorotatory, []D = + 66.4° when boiled with dil. HCl, the solution becomes laevo-rotatory, []D = – 39.9°. In this process the sucrose breaks into
Assertion: Hydrolysis of sucrose is known as inversion of cane sugar. Reason: Sucrose is a disaccharide.
Assertion: Maltose is a reducing sugar which gives two moles of D-glucose on hydrolysis. Reason: Maltose has a 1,4’- -glycosidic linkage.
Assertion: Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar. Reason: It has glycosidic linkage.
