Q1.
The diagram below shows the structure of molecules found in organisms.
(a) Complete the table below by putting the correct letter, A, B, C or D, in the box next
to each statement. Each letter may be used once, more than once, or not at all.
Letter Statement
is a monomer in an enzyme’s active site
is a monomer in cellulose
is produced during photosynthesis and respiration
forms a polymer that gives a positive result with a
biuret test
(4)
(b) Raffinose is a trisaccharide of three monosaccharides: galactose, glucose and
fructose. The chemical formulae of these monosaccharides are:
• galactose = C6H12O6
• glucose = C6H12O6
• fructose = C6H12O6
Give the number of carbon atoms, hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms in a molecule
of raffinose.
Number of carbon atoms _______________
Number of hydrogen atoms _______________
Number of oxygen atoms _______________
(1)
(c) A biochemical test for reducing sugar produces a negative result with raffinose
solution.
