Assertion Reason - Biomolecules

This document contains 15 questions related to biomolecules for chemistry class 12. Each question contains an assertion and a reason, and students must choose the correct answer relating to whether the assertion and reason are both correct, one is correct but the other is incorrect, or one is incorrect but the other is correct. The questions cover topics like glucose reactions, DNA structure, amino acids, carbohydrate configurations, and protein solubility. The answers to each question are provided at the end. The questions were submitted by chemistry teachers from different Kendriya Vidyalayas and vetted by the Ranchi region.

UNIT – 6 BIOMOLECULES
ASSERTION REASON QUESTION BANK
In the following questions Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the
correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Assertion (A) and Reason (R) both are correct statements, and Reason (R) is correct
explanation for Assertion (A)
(b) Assertion (A) and Reason (R) both are correct statements but Reason (R) is not correct
explanation for Assertion (A)
(c) Assertion (A) is correct statement, but Reason (R) is wrong statement
(d) Assertion (A) is wrong statement, but Reason (R) is correct statement

1. ASSERTION: Glucose reacts with hydroxylamine to form an oxime and also adds a molecules of
HCN to give cyanohydrin.

REASON: The carbonyl group is present in the open chain structure of glucose. (An)

2. ASSERTION: Glucose gives a reddish brown precipitate with Fehling’s solution.

REASON: Reaction of glucose with Fehling’s solution gives CuO and gluconic acid. (An)

3. ASSERTION: Fructose reduces Fehling’s solution and Tollens’ reagent.

REASON: Fructose does not contain any aldehyde group. (An)

4. Assertion- The two strands of DNA are complimentary to each other.


Reason- The hydrogen bonds are formed between specific pairs of bases.

5. Assertion- All naturally occurring alpha amino acids except glycine are optically active.
Reason- Most naturally occurring alpha amino acids have L-Configuration.
6. Assertion (A): D-(+)–Glucose is dextrorotatory in nature.

Reason (R): ‘D’ represents its dextrorotatory nature.

7. Assertion (A): The two strands of DNA are complementary to each other.

Reason (R): Adenine forms H-bonds with Guanine and Thymine forms H-bonds with Cytosine.

8. Assertion (A): The coagulation of egg white occurs on boiling.

Reason (R): Denaturation of protein occurs when its native form is subjected to physical change or
chemical change.
9. Assertion (A): Glucose gets oxidized to gluconic acid on reaction with mild oxidizing agent like
bromine water.
Reason (R): Glucose contains a ketonic group.
10. Assertion (A): The two cyclic hemiacetal forms of glucose, α-form and β form are called
anomers.
Reason (R):Anomers differ only in the configuration of the hydroxyl group at C-1.
11. Assertion: D-Glucose is soluble in water.

Reason: D- glucose forms intermolecular Hydrogen bonding with water.

12. Assertion:Naturally occurring fructose has D – configuration.


Reason: The lowest asymmetric carbon atom in fructose is chemically correlated to D (+) isomer of
glyceraldehyde.
13. Assertion: Aqueous solution of sucrose is optically inactive.

Reason: Sucrose on hydrolysis forms equal number of molecules of glucose and fructose.

14. Assertion: Glycine must be taken through diet.


Reason: It is non-essential amino acid.
15. Assertion: Solubility of protein is minimum at the isoelectronic point.

Reason: At isoelectronic point protein molecules stop behaving as Zwitter ions.
