Sucrose is non-reducing sugar because reducing part of glucose and fructose $$\left( { > C = O} \right)$$ are involved in glycosidic linkage.
While, lactose, glucose and maltose are reducing sugars.

Which one of the amino acids can be synthesised in the body?
Zwitter ion contains both $$+ve$$ and $$-ve$$ charge. Proton of $$-COOH$$ group is transferred to the $$ - N{H_2}$$ group. $$ - NH_3^ + $$ group is acidic since it can donate a proton and $$ - CO{O^ - }$$ group is basic since it can accept a proton.
Reaction of $$D - \left( + \right) - $$ glucose with methanolic $$-HCl$$ leads to formation of methyl glucoside ( $${C_1} - OH$$ group is methylated ) which, being acetal, is not hydrolysable by base, so it will not respond Tollen’s reagent.

On oxidation with a mild oxidising agent like $$B{r_2}/{H_2}O,$$ the glucose is oxidised to
Haemoglobin acts as oxygen carrier in the blood because four $$F{e^{2 + }}$$ $$ions$$ of each haemoglobin can bind with four molecules of $${O_2}$$ and form oxyhaemoglobin
$$4Hb + 4{O_2} \to \mathop {H{b_4}{O_8}}\limits_{{\text{Oxy - haemoglobin}}} $$

Vitamin $$C$$ must be supplied regularly in diet because
A
it is water soluble hence excreted in urine and can't be stored in the body
B
it is fat soluble hence stored in the body and cannot be used on regular basis
C
it is required in a large amount by the body hence supplied regularly
D
it is water soluble hence used by the body on daily basis and is to be supplied regularly
Answer :
it is water soluble hence excreted in urine and can't be stored in the body
