Identify the correct statement.

  1. A Except Glycine and Tryptophan all the other naturally occurring Amino acids are optically active
  2. B Glucose gets oxidised to Gluconic acid with Br\(_2\)(aq) which indicates that the carbonyl group in it is an Aldehydic group
  3. C The "D" in D(+) –glucose represents the dextrorotatory nature of Glucose and (+) stands for its configuration
  4. 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…
