In JEE the questions asked in chemistry are much simpler and take lesser time as compared to the questions asked in physics or mathematics. A few important chapters and some concepts are highly significant as there is a pattern in which these questions repeat every year. Going through these questions will give you a fair idea about your preparation status and help you to utilize the remaining time before the examination.
Important Questions For Carbohydrates and Biomolecules
Q. What are the important topics in carbohydrates and other biomolecules?
Ans. Carbohydrates and other biomolecules fall under the important topics, which will help you in scoring good in JEE. Following are the concepts that should be studied carefully:
- Classification and structure of carbohydrates
- Monosaccharide
- Disaccharides
- Polysaccharides
- Amino acids
- Peptides and proteins
- Nucleic Acids
Q. How to approach a question in carbohydrates and other biomolecules?
Question: In E. coli DNA, the AT/GC ratio is 0.93. If the number of moles of adenine in the DNA sample is 558,000, calculate the number of moles of guanine present.
Solution: Number of moles of adenine must be equal to that of thymine, so
(A + T)= 558,000 + 558,000 = 1116000
Since,
Therefore, no of moles of C + G will be,
Since the number of moles of C = number of moles of G
