Q3 / 75 · JEE Main 2025 (7 Apr Shift 2) · Chemistry

Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : On hydrolysis, oligo peptides give rise to fewer number of $\alpha$-amino acids while proteins give rise to a large number of $\beta$-amino acids.
Statement (II) : Natural proteins are denatured by acids which convert the water soluble form of fibrous proteins to their water insoluble form.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

  • A
    Both statement I and statement II are correct
  • B
    Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  • Correct answer
    C
    Both statement I and statement II are incorrect
  • D
    Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Solution

(i) Protein does not gives $\beta$-amino acid on hydrolysis
(ii) Fibrous protein are not water soluble
So both statement's are wrong

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
