Carbohydrates are naturally formed organic compounds from various plants. The common chemical formula, \(C _x\left( H _2 O \right)_y\), was considered as hydrates of carbon to derive the various carbohydrates. For instance, the general formula for glucose ( \(C _6 H _{12} O _6\) ) easily fits into the above formula. Carbohydrates also called saccharides are classified on the basis of their behavior towards hydrolysis. Monosaccharides cannot be hydrolyzed further to simpler units of polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketones. About 20 monosaccharides are known to occur in nature. Carbohydrates that yield large number of monosaccharide units are called polysaccharides. Amino acids contain ( \(- NH _2\) ) and ( - COOH ), which can be classified in various forms. Proteins are polymers of alpha amino acids which are connected to each other by a peptide bond or peptide linkage. When a native protein is subjected to physical change, its globules unfold and helix get uncoiled and the protein loses its biological activity. The protein is said to be denaturated.
Sucrose on hydrolysis gives
- A Dextrorotatory Glucose and Laevorotatory Fructose
- B Laevorotatory Glucose and Laevorotatory Fructose
- C Laevorotatory Glucose and Dextrorotatory Fructose
- D Dextrorotatory Glucose and Dextrorotatory Fructose
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Dextrorotatory Glucose and Laevorotatory Fructose
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Glucose is dextrorotatory, meaning it rotates plane-polarized light to the right. Fructose is levorotatory, meaning it rotates plane-polarized light to the left Therefore, upon hydrolysis of sucrose, the products are dextrorotatory glucose and levorotatory fructose. Thus, the…

The DNA fragments can be separated by a technique known as gel electrophoresis. Since DNA fragments are negatively charged molecules, they can be separated by forcing them to move towards the anode under an electric field through a medium/matrix. The separated DNA fragments can be visualised only after staining the DNA with a compound known as ethidium bromide followed by exposure to UV radiation. The repeated amplification of DNA is achieved by the use of a thermostable DNA polymerase (isolated from a bacterium, Thermus aquaticus). After completion of the biosynthetic stage, the product has to be subjected through a series of processes before it is ready for marketing as a finished product. The downstream processing and quality control testing vary from product to product. The convention for naming restriction enzymes is the first letter of the name comes from the genus and the second two letters come from the species of the prokaryotic cell from which they were isolated.
