 SECTION D

The following questions are case-based questions. Read the case carefully and
answer the questions that follow.

29. Proteins are the most abundant biomolecules of the living system.
Proteins are the polymers of about twenty different -amino acids which
are linked by peptide bonds. Ten amino acids are called essential amino
acids. In zwitter ionic form, amino acids show amphoteric behaviour as
they react both with acids and bases.

On the basis of their molecular shape, proteins are classified into two
types : Fibrous and Globular proteins. Structure and shape of proteins can
be studied at four different levels i.e., primary, secondary, tertiary and
quaternary, each level being more complex than the previous one. The
secondary or tertiary structure of proteins get disturbed on change of pH
or temperature and they are not able to perform their functions. This is
called denaturation of proteins.

Answer the following questions :

(a) What are essential amino acids ? 1

(b) What is meant by zwitter ionic form of amino acids ? 1

(c) (i) Give one example each for Fibrous protein and Globular
protein.

(ii) What type of linkages hold monomers of proteins together ? 2 1=2

OR
(c) (i) What is the structural feature which characterises a reducing
sugar ?

(ii) What is the structural difference between nucleoside and

nucleotide ? 2 1=2

30. The involvement of (n 1)d electrons in the behaviour of transition
elements impart certain distinct characteristics to these elements. Thus,
in addition to variable oxidation states, they exhibit paramagnetic
behaviour, catalytic properties and tendency for the formation of coloured
ions. The transition metals react with a number of non-metals like
oxygen, nitrogen and halogens. KMnO4 and K2Cr2O7 are common

examples.

The two series of inner transition elements, lanthanoids and actinoids,

constitute the f-block of the periodic table. In the lanthanoids, there is
regular decrease in atomic size with increase in atomic number due to the
imperfect shielding effect of 4f-orbital electrons which causes contraction.

Answer the following questions :

(a) Why do transition metals and their compounds act as good

catalysts ? 1

(b) What is the cause of contraction in the atomic size of lanthanoids ? 1

(c) Define lanthanoid contraction. How does it affect the atomic radii of
the third transition series and the second transition series ? 2

Strictly Confidential

(For Internal and Restricted use only)

Senior School Certificate Examination,2024

SUBJECT NAME CHEMISTRY (Theory)

(Q.P.CODE56_3_1,2,3)

General Instructions: -

You are aware that evaluation is the most important process in the actual and correct assessment
of the candidates. A small mistake in evaluation may lead to serious problems which may affect
the future of the candidates, education system and teaching profession. To avoid mistakes, it is
requested that before starting evaluation, you must read and understand the spot evaluation
guidelines carefully.

“Evaluation policy is a confidential policy as it is related to the confidentiality of the

examinations conducted, Evaluation done and several other aspects. Its’ leakage to public
in any manner could lead to derailment of the examination system and affect the life and
future of millions of candidates. Sharing this policy/document to anyone, publishing in any
magazine and printing in News Paper/Website etc may invite action under various rules of
the Board and IPC.”

Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme. It should not be
done according to one’s own interpretation or any other consideration. Marking Scheme should
be strictly adhered to and religiously followed. However, while evaluating, answers which are
based on latest information or knowledge and/or are innovative, they may be assessed for
their correctness otherwise and due marks be awarded to them. In class-X, while
evaluating two competency-based questions, please try to understand given answer and
even if reply is not from marking scheme but correct competency is enumerated by the
candidate, due marks should be awarded.

The Marking scheme carries only suggested value points for the answers

These are in the nature of Guidelines only and do not constitute the complete answer. The
students can have their own expression and if the expression is correct, the due marks should be
awarded accordingly.

The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books evaluated by each evaluator on
the first day, to ensure that evaluation has been carried out as per the instructions given in the
Marking Scheme. If there is any variation, the same should be zero after delibration and
discussion. The remaining answer books meant for evaluation shall be given only after ensuring
that there is no significant variation in the marking of individual evaluators.

Evaluators will mark( √ ) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer CROSS ‘X” be marked.
Evaluators will not put right (✓)while evaluating which gives an impression that answer is correct
and no marks are awarded. This is most common mistake which evaluators are committing.

If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for each part. Marks awarded
for different parts of the question should then be totaled up and written in the left-hand margin and
encircled. This may be followed strictly.

1|Page 56_3_2
If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded in the left-hand margin and
encircled. This may also be followed strictly.

If a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question deserving more marks
should be retained and the other answer scored out with a note “Extra Question”.

No marks to be deducted for the cumulative effect of an error. It should be penalized only once.

A full scale of marks __________(example 0 to 80/70/60/50/40/30 marks as given in Question

Paper) has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if the answer deserves it.

Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working hours i.e., 8 hours every
day and evaluate 20 answer books per day in main subjects and 25 answer books per day in
other subjects (Details are given in Spot Guidelines).This is in view of the reduced syllabus and
number of questions in question paper.

Ensure that you do not make the following common types of errors committed by the Examiner in
the past:-

● Leaving answer or part thereof unassessed in an answer book.

● Giving more marks for an answer than assigned to it.
● Wrong totaling of marks awarded on an answer.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the inside pages of the answer book to the title page.
● Wrong question wise totaling on the title page.
● Wrong totaling of marks of the two columns on the title page.
● Wrong grand total.
● Marks in words and figures not tallying/not same.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the answer book to online award list.
● Answers marked as correct, but marks not awarded. (Ensure that the right tick mark is
correctly and clearly indicated. It should merely be a line. Same is with the X for incorrect
answer.)
● Half or a part of answer marked correct and the rest as wrong, but no marks awarded.
While evaluating the answer books if the answer is found to be totally incorrect, it should be
marked as cross (X) and awarded zero (0)Marks.

Any unassessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page, or totaling error detected by
the candidate shall damage the prestige of all the personnel engaged in the evaluation work as
also of the Board. Hence, in order to uphold the prestige of all concerned, it is again reiterated
that the instructions be followed meticulously and judiciously.

The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the “Guidelines for Spot
Evaluation” before starting the actual evaluation.

Every Examiner shall also ensure that all the answers are evaluated, marks carried over to the
title page, correctly totaled and written in figures and words.

The candidates are entitled to obtain photocopy of the Answer Book on request on payment of
the prescribed processing fee. All Examiners/Additional Head Examiners/Head Examiners are
once again reminded that they must ensure that evaluation is carried out strictly as per value
points for each answer as given in the Marking Scheme.
