Identify the correct statement.
- A Except Glycine and Tryptophan all the other naturally occurring Amino acids are optically active
- B Glucose gets oxidised to Gluconic acid with Br\(_2\)(aq) which indicates that the carbonyl group in it is an Aldehydic group
- C The "D" in D(+) –glucose represents the dextrorotatory nature of Glucose and (+) stands for its configuration
- D During denaturation of Proteins its 3- dimensional structure is destroyed because the primary, secondary and tertiary structures get destroyed due to rise in temperature
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Glucose gets oxidised to Gluconic acid with Br\(_2\)(aq) which indicates that the carbonyl group in it is an Aldehydic group
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Glycine is the only naturally occurring amino acid that is optically inactive because its \(\alpha\)-carbon is attached to two hydrogen atoms. Tryptophan is optically active. Thus, the first statement is incorrect. Bromine water is a mild oxidising agent that specifically…
