A plant biochemist received a spicemen from a fellow scientist who noticed that the plant's stomata are closed during the day. The biochemist observed that radioactive carbon supplied in the form of carbon dioxide fed to the plant at night, was first found in organic acids that accumulated in the vacuole.During the day, the label moved to sugars being manufactured in the chloroplast. What was the conclusion of the biochemist?

In an experiment in which photosynthesis is perforemd during the day. You provide a plant with radioactive carbon dioxide (.^(14)CO_(2)) as a metabolic tracer. The .^(14)C is incorporated first into oxaloacetic acid. The plant is best characterised as a

Sulphuric acid is considered as the king of chemicals. The prosperity of any country is measured by the amount of sulphuric acid it consumes. Sulphuric acid is, thus, a substance of very great commercial importance as it used practically ine every important industry. This is due to the following properties of sulphuric acid : (a) acidic nature (b) oxidising nature (c) dehydrating nature (d) sulphonation. Which of the following reactions depict the oxidising behaviour of H_2 SO_4 ?

In an experiment to estimate the size of a molecule of oleic acid 1 mL of oleic acid is dissolved in 19 mL of alcohol. Then 1 mL of this solution is diluted to 20 mL by adding alcohol. Now, 1 drop of this diluted solution is placed on water in a shallow trough. The solution spreads over the surface of water forming one molecule thick layer. Now, lycopodium powder is sprinkled evenly over the film and its diameter is measured. Knowing the volume of the drop and area of the film we can calculate the thickness of the film which will give us the size of oleic acid molecule. Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions (a) Why do we dissolve oleic acid in alcohol ? (b) What is the role of lycopodium powder? (c) What would be the volume of oleic acid in each mL of solution prepared? (d) How will you calculate the volume of n drops of this solution of oleic acid ? (e) What will be the volume of oleic acid in one drop of this solution ?

Hydrogen accounts for approximately 75% of the mass of the universe. Hydrogen serves as the nuclear fuel of our Sun and other stars, and these are mainly composed of hydrogen. On the earth, though hydrogen is rarely found in the uncombined state. Since the earth's gravity is too weak to hold such light molecules, nearly all the H_2 originally present in the earth's atmosphere has been lost to space. In the earth's crust and oceans, hydrogen is found in water, petroleum, proteins, carbohydrates and other compounds and it is the ninth most abundant element on a mass basis. Hydrogen has three isotopes : hydrogen or protium () , deuterium or heavy hydrogen (D or ), tritium (T or ) . The physical properties of the three isotopes are different due to the difference in their masses, i.e. isotope effect. The chemical properties of the three isotopes are similar as they have the same electronic configuration. Reaction between hydrogen and oxygen is highly exothermic, and gas mixtures that contain as little as 4% by volume hydrogen in oxygen (or in air) are highly flammable and potentially explosive. 2H_(2(g))+O_(2(g)), DeltaH^(ɵ)=-485 kJmol^(-1) As hydrogen is environmentally clean it is an enormously attractive fuel. 'Hydrogen economy' is an emerging field in which it is thought that our energy needs can be met by gaseous, liquid and solid hydrogen. As hydrogen is no a naturally occuring substance such as coal, oil or natural gas, energy must be exploaded to produce hydrogen before it can be used. Which of the following is radioactive in nature?

Which of the following statements are false regarding 'Hershey and Chase' experiment, proving DNA is genetic material ? (i) They made use of rats. (ii) Radioactivity was seen in supernatant for the medium that was infected by phase radiolabelled with .^(32)P . (iii) Used radioisotope to label sulphur with .^(35)S in sulphur- containing amino acids. (iv) Radioactive phages were allowed to attach to E. coli bacteria.
