SECTION-D
The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choice and
carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
31. Polysaccharides may be very large molecules. Starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin are
examples of polysaccharides.
Starch is the stored form of sugars in plants and is made up of amylose and amylopectin (both
polymers of glucose). Amylose is soluble in water and can be
hydrolysed into glucose units breaking glycocidic bonds, by the enzymes α-amylase and β-
amylase. It is straight chain polymer. Amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of several D-
glucose molecules. 80% of amylopectin is present in starch. Plants are able to synthesise
glucose and the excess glucose is stored as starch in different plant parts, including roots and
seeds. The starch that is consumed by animals is broken down into smaller molecules, such as
glucose. The cells can then absorb the glucose.
Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in human and other vertebrates, and is made up of
monomers of glucose. It is structural support to the cell. Wood and paper are mostly cellulosic in
nature.
Like amylose, cellulose is a linear polymer of glucose. Cellulose is made up of glucose
monomers that are linked by bonds between particular carbon atoms in the glucose molecule.
Every other glucose monomer in cellulose is flipped over and packed tightly as extended long
chains.
Answers the following questions.
(a) Glycogen is known as animal starch. In animals it is stored in which part? (1)
(b) What type of linkage is present between monosaccharides to form long chain
polysaccharides? (1)
(c) Cellulose is a polysaccharide of β-glucose.
What units are given on hydrolysis by cellulose? (2)
Or
Starch is a polysaccharide which constitute amylopectin and amylose. Starch contains 20%
amylose.
What type of polysaccharide is amylose? Is it soluble in water? (2)
32. The colligative properties of electrolytes require a slightly different approach than the one
used for the colligative properties of non-electrolytes. The electrolytes dissociate into ions in a
solution. It is the number of solute particles that determines the colligative properties of a
solution. The electrolyte solutions, therefore, show abnormal colligative properties. To account
for this effect we define a quantity called the van't Hoff factor, given by
Actual number of particles is solutionafter dissociation
i=
Number of formulaunits initially dissolved ∈solution
i = 1 (for non-electrolytes);
i > 1 (for electrolytes, undergoing dissociation)
i < 1 (for solutes, undergoing association),
van't Hoff factor depends on degree of dissociation or degree of association as the case may
be.
Answer the following questions.
(a) Give example of a solution in which solute molecules undergo association in solution. (1)
(b) A substance trimerises when dissolved in wter, what will be its van't Hoff factor? (1)

SECTION-D
The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choice and
carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each, Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
31. Biomolecules are complex molecules that build up living organisms and are required for
their growth, maintenance, and ability to reproduce. Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes
and ketones which are major sources of energy. Monosaccharides are simple sugars that
cannot be hydrolyzed. Oligosaccharides, on hydrolysis, give 2 to 10 molecules of
monosaccharides. Polysaccharides like starch and cellulose on hydrolysis give a large number
of molecules of glucose i.e. α-glucose and β-glucose (Anomers). Proteins are complex
nitrogenous polymers of amino acids connected through peptide bonds. The sequence in which
amino acids are linked is called primary structure.
Secondary structures are of 2 types α-helix in globular proteins and β-pleated structure in
fibrous proteins involving H-bonds. The tertiary structure has H-bonds, disulphide linkage, ionic
bonding, and van der Waals’ forces. Insulin is a hormone for the metabolism of glucose, has a
quarternary structure. Denaturation of protein destroys a secondary and tertiary structure, loss
of biological activity but primary structure remains the same.
Enzymes are highly specific, work at specific pH, moderate temperature and catalyze
biochemical reactions. Hormones perform specific functions and are secreted by endocrine
glands. Vitamins are essential for a healthy body. A, D, E, K are fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin C
and B1, B2, B6 are water-soluble. B12 is neither water nor fat-soluble. Nucleic acids are
polymers of nucleotides. RNA consists of m-RNA, t-RNA, r-RNA. RNA has Adenine, Cytosine,
Uracil, and Guanine. It helps in protein synthesis. It cannot replicate. DNA contains deoxyribose,
A, C, G, and Thymine. It transfers genetic characteristics. DNA has a double helix structure and
undergoes replication.
Answer the following questions
(a) Name a disaccharide which on hydrolysis give glucose and galactose.
(b) What type of protein is albumin?
(c) Which one is the complementary' base of cytosine in one strand of DNA to that in another
strand of DNA?
Or
Name the linkage by which nucleotides are joined together between 5' and 3’ atoms of pentose
sugar? Also write the one name of non-reducing sugar.
32. The solubility of a gas in a liquid is determined by several factors. In addition to the nature of
the gas and the liquid, solubility of the gas depends on the temperature and pressure of the
system. The solubility of a gas in a liquid is governed by Henry's law which states that the
solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas. Henry, also
concluded independently that the solubility of a gas in a liquid solution is a function of the partial
pressure of the gas.
