Chemistry - Biomolecules

Practise 30 Manipal (MET) previous year questions on Biomolecules, compiled from papers spanning 2010 to 2024. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty Manipal (MET) tests.

Biomolecules has been asked in 11 of the 15 years of Manipal (MET) papers analysed (2010–2024), with 30 questions in all. 40% of them were easy, 57% moderate and 3% tough. Most of its questions came from 2018, with 4 questions that year. In the last three years (2022–2024) it had 1 question across 1 paper, about 1 per paper.

The chapter's 8 topics are not weighted equally: Preparation and Reactions of Glucose (7 questions, 23%), Carbohydrates (6 questions, 20%), and Properties and Preparation of Amino Acids (6 questions, 20%) have been asked the most. Over the last five years the most frequent topics have been Properties and Preparation of Amino Acids (2), Carbohydrates (1), and Preparation and Reactions of Glucose (1). Nucleic Acids has produced the most tough questions (1).
