Building blocks of proteins are amino acids and that of polysaccharides are monosaccharides. Many polysaccharides are called homopolymers but all proteins are known as heteropolymers. b) Give one example for a homopolymer.

Building blocks of proteins are amino acids and that of polysaccharides are monosaccharides. Many polysaccharides are called homopolymers but all proteins are known as heteropolymers. a) Do you agree with the above statement? Give reason.

Which of the following statements are true? i) Rhamnose and deoxyribose are carbohydrates by their chemical behavior but cannot represented as hydrates of carbon ii) Formaldehyde and acetic acid do not behave like carbohydrate but can be represented by the general formula of carbohydrates, C_x(H_2O)_y iii) Raffinose on hydrolysis gives glucose and galactose only iv) Polysaccharides are also called non-sugars v) In disaccharides, if reducing groups of monosaccharides are bonded, they are non reducing in nature vi) Sorbose is an example of aldose

Proteins are made up of alpha - amino acids. They are actually polypeptides having high molecular mass. Give one example each for neutral, acidic and basic alpha - amino acids.

Complete the following sequence with appropriate words.Amino acids:..(a)... bond: Proteins.. (b).. Glycosidic bond: Polysaccharides
