Question

define the following terms
1. invert sugar
2. native protein
3. nucleotide​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Invert sugar - It is a mixture of glucose and Fructose obtained after hydrolysis of sucrose. Sucrose is dextrorotatory, but after hydrolysis gives a mixture of dextrorotatory glucose and levorotatory fructose hence the mixture obtained is called invert sugar.

2. Native protein - Protein found in a biological system with a unique three dimensional structure and biological activity is called in native protein.

3. Nucleotide - They are building blocks of DNA/RNA. These consists of a pentose sugar moiety attached to a nitrogenous base at 1' position and phosphoric acid molecule at 5' position.
