Carbohydrates such as cane sugar, glucose, starch etc. belong to a class of naturally occurring organic compounds. Structurally these are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or the compounds which produce such units on hydrolysis. Carbohydrates which are sweet in taste are called sugars. Theses sugars can be reducing or non-reducing. Monosaccharides cannot be hydrolyzed to simpler units whereas Oligosaccharides yield two to ten monosaccharide units on hydrolysis. Polysaccharides yield large number of monosaccharide units on hydrolysis. This class of biomolecules is essential for living systems as they serve as storage molecules in plants and animals. In addition, they provide raw materials for important industries like furniture, textiles, paper, lacquers and breweries. Two aldopentose form important constituents of nucleic acids. Carbohydrates are also called saccharides (Greek: sakcharon which means sugar). Sugar which is used in household and in milk also comes under this class of biomolecules.

Adsorption is a surface phenomenon and it differs from absorption which occurs throughout the body of the substance that absorbs. In physiosorption the attractive forces are mainly van der Waal's forces while in chemisorption ionic/covalent bonds are formed between particles of adsorbent and adsorbate. The catalytic activity of finely divided iron in Haber's process of ammonia manufacture can be explained by adsorption theory. Adsorption being an exothermic process, the heat of adsorption is utilised in enhancing the rate of the reaction. Adsorption has many applications being used in gas masks, control of humidity, chromatograph separation, curing diseases etc.
Which of the following is not correct regarding the adsorption of a gas on the surface of solid ?
(A) On increasing temperature, adsorption increases continuously.
(B) Enthalphy and entropy changes are negative.
(C) Chemical adsorption is more specific than physical adsorption.
(D) High temperature favours physical adsorption.

Biomolecules are the organic compounds present as an essential constituents of living organisms in different cells. molecules are generally termed as macromolecules, which are carbohydrates, enzymes, nucleic acids, amino acids and proteins The etc. Carbohydrates are classified as sugars and non-sugars include sucrose, glucose, fructose, starch and cellulose. Enzymes are coordinated with various chemical reactions in nucleic acid. Nucleic acids are found in living organisms made up of proteins and atural polymers. Two types that are generally found in biological systems are DNA and RNA nucleic acid. Amino acids bifunctional groups of carboxyl and amino groups. Proteins are a class of biologically important compounds. They are crucial are to virtually all processes in living systems. Some of them are hormones, which serve as chemical messengers that coordinate certain biochemical activities.
