Sample Questions

1mcq

Which of the following is a non-reducing sugar?

Show answer

Sucrose

Sucrose is the only common non-reducing disaccharide. Its glycosidic bond uses BOTH carbonyl (reducing) groups of glucose and fructose, leaving no free carbonyl group to reduce Fehling's or Benedict's solution.

2mcq

Starch gives a blue-black colour with iodine because of its:

Show answer

Amylose component

Amylose (the straight-chain component of starch, 15-20%) forms a helical structure that traps iodine molecules, producing a blue-black complex. Amylopectin gives red-purple; glycogen gives purple-red.

3mcq

Which of the following is the animal storage polysaccharide?

Show answer

Glycogen

Glycogen is the animal storage carbohydrate, stored mainly in the liver and muscles. Starch is the plant equivalent. Cellulose and chitin are structural polysaccharides.
