RNA can directly control the synthesis of proteins, hence can easily express the characters. DNA, however, is dependent on RNA for synthesis of proteins. The protein synthesising machinery has evolved around RNA.

Nidhi Yadav answered |
Pepsin is an enzyme that is primarily found in the stomach and plays a crucial role in the digestion of proteins. It is secreted by the gastric chief cells in an inactive form called pepsinogen, which is then activated by the acidic environment of the stomach. Once activated, pepsin breaks down proteins into smaller peptide fragments and eventually into individual amino acids, which can be absorbed by the body.
Pepsin acts through a process called hydrolysis, which involves the addition of a water molecule to break the peptide bonds that hold the amino acids together in a protein. This process is essential for the body to obtain the necessary amino acids for various physiological functions, such as the synthesis of new proteins, enzyme activity, and hormone production.
To better understand why the correct answer is option 'C' (proteins to amino acids), let's break down the other options and eliminate them:
a) Polysaccharides to monosaccharides: This process is actually carried out by enzymes called amylases, not pepsin. Amylases are found in saliva and pancreatic secretions and are responsible for breaking down complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides) into simpler sugars (monosaccharides) such as glucose.
b) Glucose to ethyl alcohol: This process is not mediated by pepsin but rather by a different enzyme called yeast. Yeast is able to convert glucose into ethyl alcohol through a process called fermentation.
d) Fats to fatty acids: The digestion of fats involves the action of enzymes called lipases, not pepsin. Lipases break down fats (triglycerides) into fatty acids and glycerol, which can then be absorbed by the body.
In summary, pepsin is specifically responsible for hydrolyzing proteins into amino acids. This process is crucial for the body to obtain the necessary building blocks for protein synthesis and various other physiological functions.

Rajdeep Saini answered |
The active form of vitamin D is calcitriol.
Calcitriol, also known as 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, is the active form of vitamin D in the body. It is the biologically active metabolite that is synthesized from calcidiol, also known as 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, which is the storage form of vitamin D.
Explanation:
1. Vitamin D and its forms:
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in maintaining bone health and calcium homeostasis. It exists in several forms, including vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), which are obtained from dietary sources or synthesized in the skin upon exposure to sunlight.
2. Conversion of vitamin D to its active form:
When vitamin D2 or D3 is ingested or synthesized, it undergoes a series of metabolic conversions in the liver and kidneys to become the active form of vitamin D. The first step involves hydroxylation in the liver, where vitamin D is converted to calcidiol (25-hydroxyvitamin D3) through the action of the enzyme 25-hydroxylase.
3. Activation of calcidiol to calcitriol:
The second and final step in the activation of vitamin D occurs in the kidneys. Calcidiol undergoes further hydroxylation by the enzyme 1-alpha-hydroxylase, resulting in the formation of calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3). This conversion is tightly regulated by various factors, including parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium levels, and phosphate levels.
4. Biological functions of calcitriol:
Calcitriol acts as a hormone and binds to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in target tissues, such as the intestines, bones, and kidneys. It regulates the absorption of calcium and phosphate in the intestines, promotes bone mineralization by increasing calcium and phosphate uptake, and helps maintain normal blood calcium levels. Calcitriol also has non-skeletal functions, including modulation of immune responses and cell growth.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the active form of vitamin D is calcitriol, which is synthesized from calcidiol through the action of 1-alpha-hydroxylase in the kidneys. Calcitriol plays a crucial role in maintaining calcium homeostasis and bone health, as well as other physiological processes in the body.

Divey Sethi answered |
The correct answer is option B & D.
One of the common disaccharides is sucrose which on hydrolysis gives an equimolar mixture of D−(+)− glucose and D−(−) fructose. These two monosaccharides are held together by a glycosidic linkage between Cl of α- glucose and C2 of β- fructose. Since the reducing groups of glucose and fructose are involved in glycosidic bond formation, sucrose is a non-reducing sugar.

On hydrolysis, maltose gives glucose with the help of maltase enzyme which works as a catalysis of the hydrolysis of the glycoside bond.
Maltase is a disaccharide which will reduce sugar giving two molecules of glucose on hydrolysis.
It will give alpha-D-glucose and alpha-D-glucose.

The pairs of optical isomers which differ in configuration around any other C atom other than C1 atom are called epimers. D-glucose and D-mannose are C2 epimers.

The DNA sequence that codes for a specific
protein is called a Gene and thus every
protein in a cell has a corrosponding gene.

Rajeev Saxena answered |
Non-reducing sugars do not have an OH group attached to the anomeric carbon so they cannot reduce other compounds. All monosaccharides such as glucose are reducing sugars. A disaccharide can be a reducing sugar or a non-reducing sugar. Maltose and lactose are reducing sugars, while sucrose is a non-reducing sugar.

Tanvi Bose answered |
Explanation:
Purine bases:
Purine bases are nitrogen-containing molecules that are formed by a pyrimidine ring fused to an imidazole ring. The purine bases are guanine and adenine.
Pyrimidine bases:
Pyrimidine bases consist of a single ring structure and include thymine, cytosine, and uracil.
Answer:
Therefore, the correct answer is option A and B, which are guanine and adenine. These bases are found in DNA and RNA and are important for the genetic code. Thymine is a pyrimidine base found only in DNA, while uracil is a pyrimidine base found only in RNA.

Geetika Shah answered |
The correct answer is Option A.
Glucose gets oxidized to cyanohydrin in reaction with HCN . This indicates that the carbonyl group is present as an aldehydic group.
