Sugars are technically called carbohydrates, referring to the fact that their formulae are only multiple of `C(H_(2)O)`. Hexoses therefore have six carbons, twelve hydrogens and six oxygen atoms. Glucose is a hexose. Choose from among the following another hexose.

A

Fructose

B

Erythrose

C

Ribulose

D

Ribose

In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide is found in two forms, i.e., ^12CO_2 and ^14CO_2 . Plants absord CO_2 during photosynthesis in presence of chlorophyll, plants systhesise glucose 6CO_2 +6 H_2O rarr C_6H_12O_6 + 6O_2uarr Half life of ^14CO_2 is 5760 years. The analysis of wooden artifacts for ^14C and ^12C gives useful information for determination of its age. All living organisms, because of their constant exchange of Carbon dioxide with the surroundings have the same ratio of C-14 to C-12, i.e. 1.3xx10^-12 . When an organism dies, the C-14 in it keeps on decaying as follows: 6^14Crarr7^14N+(-1)^0e +Energy Thus, the ratio of C-14 and C-12 decreases with the passage of time. We can measure the proportion of C-14 in the remains of dead organism and determine how long ago it died. The method of carbon dating can be used to date anything made or organic matter, e.g., bone, skeleton, wood, etc. Using carbon dating, materials have been dated to about 50,000 years with accuracy. A piece of wood from an archeological source shows a C-14 activity which is 60% of the activity found in fresh wood today. The age of archeological sample will be:

Conformations are different arrangements of atoms that are interconverted by rotation about single bond. In eclipsed conformation the C-H bond on one carbon is directly aligned with C-H bond on the adjacent carbon. The angle that separates a bond on one atom from a bond on a adjacent atom is called a dihedral angle. A staggered conformation with two larger groups 180^@ from each other is called anti. A stagged conformation with two larger group 60^@ from each other is called gauche. Identify the most stable conformer of 2-fluoro ethanol among the following :

In the following questions a statement of Assertin (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is give. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices. Assertion (A): Deoxyribose, C_(5)H_(10)O_(4) is not a carbohydrate. Reason (R): Carbohydrates are hydrates of carbon so compounds which follow C_(x) (H_(2)O)_(y) formula are carbohydrates.
