SECTION-B
2. Humans can covert glucose into fatty acids but cannot convert fatty acids into glucose.
Explain Why?
3. What are the salient features of Watson and Crick Model of DNA?
4. Where does ?-oxidation of fatty acid occur? How is ?-oxidation different from
?-oxidation of fatty acids?
5. What are ceramides and sphingolipids? Give their structural features and highlight their
biological roles.
6. What are fat soluble vitamins? Briefly discuss their functional significance.
SECTION-C
7. Briefly discuss ?-oxidation of fatty acids and the amount of energy generated by
?-oxidation of one molecule of palmitic acid.
8. Chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis was given by Peter Mitchell while the concept of
