Section D
29 Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: [4]
Living systems are made up of various complex biomolecules like carbohydrates, proteins,
nucleic acids, lipids, etc. Carbohydrates are optically active polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or
molecules which provide such units on hydrolysis. They are broadly classified into three groups -
monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides are held together by
glycosidic linkages to form disaccharides like sucrose, maltose or polysaccharides like starch and
cellolose.
Another biomolecule : proteins are polymers of 𝛼 - amino acids which are linked by peptide
bonds. Ten amino acids are called essential amino acids. Structure and shape of proteins can be
studied at four different levels i.e. primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary, each level being
more complex than the previous one.

protein lose their biological activity? (2)
30 Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: [4]
In coordination compounds, metals show two types of linkages, primary and secondary. Primary
valencies are ionisable and are satisfied by negatively charged ions. Secondary valencies are non
- ionisable and are satisfied by neutral or negative ions having lone pair of electrons. Primary
valencies are non - directional while secondary valencies decide the shape of the complexes.
