- Question
Which of the following polysaccharides contains a modified monosaccharide?
Options- A. starch
- B. chitin
- C. glycogen
- D. cellulose
- Correct Answer
- chitin
ExplanationMany carbohydrates contain one or more modified monosaccharide units that have had one or more groups replaced or removed.
Chitin is one of many naturally occurring polymers. It is one of the most abundant natural materials in the world. Over time it is bio-degradable in the natural environment. Its breakdown may be catalyzed by enzymes called chitinases, secreted by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi, and produced by some plants.
Chitin is composed of repeating units of N-acetylglucosamine, a nitrogen-containing form of glucose.

Correct Answer: Plant ----> Animal ----> Atmosphere
Explanation:
During daylight hours, plants capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to make carbohydrates which is stored as starch in the plant. Animals feed on the plants and extract the carbohydrates through their digestive system. The carbohydrates, namely glucose, are used by the animals for production of ATP through cellular respiration.
Cellar respiration in the animals produces carbon dioxide as a waste product. The carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, from where it is again captured by plants and the cycle is repeated.
Hence, option B) Plant ----> Animal ----> Atmosphere is the path possible in carbon cycle.
Correct Answer: increase the alkalinity of the soil
Explanation:
Lime is sometimes applied to soil in order to increase the acidity of the soil.
Correct Answer: Pentagonal bipyramid
Explanation:
Hybridisation of iodine is
So, the structure is pentagonal bipyramid.
Correct Answer: 0 deg C
Explanation:
The freezing point of water and melting point is 0 °C or 32 °F. The temperature may be lower if supercooling occurs.
Correct Answer: steroid
Explanation:
Estrogen is a group of steroid hormone that control the development and maintenance of an individuals feminine characteristics. Natural estrogen exists in men as well as women and are found in higher amounts in women Especially in those of reproductive age.
Estrogens are hormones which are responsible to the body functions of the female body system such as menstruation, development of the female body such as pubic hair, breasts and development of the proportions of the body.
Lipids act as best energy storage molecules as the cleavage of fatty acids produces both energy and metabolic water which is a main component in almost all lipids.
Correct Answer: peptide bonds
Correct Answer: Covalent
Explanation:
Covalent type of bonding joins The two hydrogen atoms are joned by Covalent type of bonding.
In this type of bonding, electrons are shared between the atoms in order to fill there valence shells. Thus sharing of electrons take place in between the hydrogen atoms.
Correct Answer: Oxygen and Acetylene
Explanation:
Normal Gas welding use oxygen-acetylene.
Depending on what materials you are welding, there are some more options that might be used.
For example - MIG/TIG use Argon, MAG use an argon-something mix.
Correct Answer: The sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain differs from protein to protein
Correct Answer: Vitamins B & C
Explanation:
Vitamins are essential nutrients found in foods. They perform specific and vital functions in a variety of body systems, and are crucial for maintaining optimal health.
The two different types of vitamins are fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins.
Fat-soluble vitamins :
Vitamins A, D, E and K ? dissolve in fat before they are absorbed in the bloodstream to carry out their functions. Excesses of these vitamins are stored in the liver, and are not needed every day in the diet.
Water-soluble vitamins :
Vitamins dissolve in water and are not stored by the body. Since they are eliminated in urine, we require a continuous daily supply in our diet. The water-soluble vitamins include the vitamin B-complex group and vitamin C.
Water-soluble vitamins are easily destroyed or washed out during food storage or preparation.
