प्रश्न
Proteins can be classified into two types on the basis of their molecular shape i.e., fibrous proteins and globular proteins. Examples of globular proteins are:
(i) Insulin
(ii) Keratin
(iii) Albumin
(iv) Myosin
उत्तर
(i) Insulin
(iii) Albumin
Explanation:
This structure results when the chain of polypeptides coil around to give a spherical shape. These are usually soluble in water. Insulin and albumin are the common examples of globular proteins.

Protein found in a biological system with a unique three-dimensional structure and biological activity is called a native protein. When a protein in its native form, is subjected to a physical change like change in temperature or a chemical change like, change in pH, denaturation of protein takes place. Explain the cause.
Assertion: β-glycosidic linkage is present in maltose,
Reason: Maltose is composed of two glucose units in which C–1 of one glucose unit is linked to C–4 of another glucose unit.
