What do you mean understand by tertiary structure of proteins? Mention the forces involved informing these structures.
Name the product obtained on complete hydrolysis of DNA. Enumerate the structural differences between DNA and RNA. In what way is a nucleotide different from a nucleoside? Illustrate with examples.
Describe four functions of carbohydrates in living organism.
Functions of carbohydrates:
1. They support the plant structure, e.g., cellulose.
2. They produce energy necessary for functioning of living body and doing work.
3. They are used to store chemical energy in form of glycogen in liver. In case of emergency like fasting or illness, glycogen hydrolyses to glucose and thus supplies the necessary energy. Starch is main storage polysaccharide of plants.
4.Cellulose present in grass and plants act as a food for various grazing animals. These animals contain specific enzymes which can hydrolyse cellulose.
The tertiary structure of many proteins dissolved in water is disrupted by heating above 80°C, but primary structure is unaffected. Explain.
