Proteins are complex nitrogenous organic compounds which are linked together by the peptide bond. It is a condensation polymer, polyamide. Proteins are the group of complex organic macromolecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and…

Peptide Bond: During the formation of a peptide, the amino (-NH2) group of one α – amino acid & the Carboxylic (-COOH) group of another molecule of same or different α  AA get condensed with…

Carbohydrate The foods which mostly contain the constituent of sugar or glucose are called carbohydrates. For example: rice, wheat, flower, maize, corn, sugar, molasses etc. Plants are the only source of carbohydrates. In our daily…

Muta-rotation: α-and β-forms show specific rotation of + 113° of glucose and + 19° respectively. It is the change in the optical rotation because of the change in the equilibrium between two anomers, when the…

The structure of glucose molecule can be identified by the following reactions: (i) The structural formula of glucose C6H12O6 (ii) Reduction: Being reduced by HI, glucose forms n-haxane in the presence of red phosphorus. This…

Glucose is a monosaccharide, which is another term for a simple sugar. It is one of three monosaccharides that are used by the body, but it is the only one that can be used directly…

The chloro-flouro derivatives of methane & ethane are known as “C.F.C”. They are commercially known as “Freons”. Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) is an organic compound that contains carbon, chlorine, and fluorine, produced as a volatile derivative of…

The average temperature of earth is 150C. CFCs Increase the earth’s temperature by Greenhouse effect-as it destroys the ozone layer. One Cl atom in CFC can break ten thousand O3 molecules. 1% loss of O3…
