Biomolecules Question 3

Question 3 - 25 January - Shift 1

Match items of Row I with those of Row II.

Row I :

(P)

(Q)

(R)

(S)

Row II :

(i) $\alpha$-D-(-) Fructofuranose.

(ii) $\beta$-D-(-) Fructofuranose

(iii) $\alpha$-D-(-) Glucopyranose.

(iv) $\beta$-D-(-) Glucopyranose

Correct match is

(1) $P \to$ iv, Q $arrow$ iii, $R \to$ i, $S \to$ ii

(2) $P \to i, Q \to$ ii, $R \to$ iii, $S \to$ iv

(3) $P \to$ iii, Q $arrow$ iv, $R \to$ ii, $S \to i$

(4) $P \to$ iii, $Q \to iv, R \to i, S \to 11$
