II ASSERTION AND REASON QUESTIONS
Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for
assertion.
(b) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation
for assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
(d) Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
1. Assertion: Sucrose is a disaccharide.
Reason: It is made up of glucose and galactose.
Answer: c
2. Assertion: Cellulose is a homopolymer.
Reason: It is made up of only one type of monosaccharide unit, glucose.
Answer: a
3. Assertion: Co-enzymes are organic compounds loosely attached to apoenzymes
Reason: NADP is an example of a coenzyme.
Answer: b
4. Assertion: The exoskeleton of arthropods is made up of a complex polysaccharide called chitin
Reason: Plant cell walls are made up of Cellulose
Answer: b
5. Assertion: All enzymes are proteins
Reason: RNA molecules that possess catalytic activity are called ribozymes.
Answer: b
6. Assertion: Hydrolases are enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of ester, peptide, glycosidic
bonds.
Reason: Lyases are enzymes catalyzing the linking together of two compounds like joining of C-
O, C-N, P-O etc. bonds
Answer: c
7. Assertion: Each enzyme has a substrate binding site in its molecule which forms highly
reactive enzymes substrate complex.
Reason: The enzyme substrate complex is long lived and dissociates into its product and
unchanged enzyme.
Answer: c
8. Assertion: Starch iodine complex gives blue colour but Cellulose does not.
Reason: Starch forms helical secondary structure in which it can hold iodine molecules but
Cellulose cannot do so as it does not contain complex helices.
Answer: a
9. Assertion: The long protein chain is folded upon itself like a hollow ball giving rise to the
tertiary structure.
Reason: Tertiary structure gives a three-dimensional view of a protein.
Answer: b
10. Assertion: Co-factors play a crucial role in catalytic activity of the enzyme.
Reason: Catalytic activity is lost when the cofactor is removed from the enzyme.
Answer: a
