SECTION – D
The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choice and
carries 4 (1 + 1 + 2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
29. Living systems are made up of various complex biomolecules like carbohydrates, proteins, ucleic
acids, lipids, etc. Carbohydrates are optically active polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or
molecules which provide such units on hydrolysis. They are broadly classified into three groups–
monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides.
Monosaccharides are held together by glycosidic linkages to form disaccharides like sucrose,
maltose or polysaccharides like starch and cellulose.
Another biomolecule : proteins are polymers of -amino acids which are linked by peptide
bonds. Ten amino acids are called essential amino acids. Structure and shape of proteins can be
studied at four different levels i.e. primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary, each level being
more complex than the previous one.
Answer the following questions :

(i) What is the difference between a glycosidic linkage and peptide linkage ? [1]
(ii) Which amino acids are called essential amino acids ? [1]
(iii) What are the common types of secondary structures of proteins ?
Write any two forces which stabilise the secondary and tertiary structures of protein. [2]
OR
(iii) Define denaturation of protein with an example. During denaturation which structures of
protein lose their biological activity ? [2]
30. Amines are usually formed from nitro compounds, halides, amides, imides, etc. They exhibit
hydrogen bonding which influences their physical properties. In alkyl amines, a combination of
electron releasing, steric and hydrogen bonding factors influence the stability of the substituted
ammonium cations in protic polar solvents and thus affect the basic nature of amines. In aromatic
amines, electron releasing and withdrawing groups, respectively increase and decrease their basic

®
character. Influence of the number of hydrogen atoms at nitrogen atom on the type of reactions
and nature of products is responsible for identification and distinction between primary,
secondary and tertiary amines. Presence of amino group in aromatic ring enhances reactivity of
the aromatic amines. Aryl diazonium salts provide advantageous methods for producing aryl
halides, cyanides, phenols and arenes by reductive removal of the diazo group.

(i) Arrange the following in the increasing order of their pKb values in aqueous solution : [1]
C2H5NH2 , (C2H5)2NH, (C2H5)3N
(ii) Aniline on nitration gives a substantial amount of m-nitroaniline, though amino group is
o/p directing. Why ? [1]
(iii) An aromatic compound 'A' of molecular formula C7H6O2 on on treatment with aqueous
ammonia and heating forms compound 'B'. Compound 'B' on heating with Br2 and aqueous
KOH gives a compound 'C' of molecular formula C6H7N. Write the structures of
A, B and C. [2]
