  1. Simple proteins

  2. Conjugated proteins

  3. Proteonic proteins

  4. All the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Simple proteins bonded with a non-proteinic prosthetic group (acting as cofactor) are called conjugated proteins.
Examples include  Glycoprotein, Lipoprotein, and Phosphoprotein.

Which is used for fixing atmospheric nitrogen?

chemistry the s-block elements (alkali and alkaline earth metals) biological importance of magnesium and calcium biological importance of elements biological importance of s block elements biological importance of sodium and potassium

  1. $CaCN _2$ (nitrolim)

  2. $Li _3N$

  3. $Mg _3N _2$

  4. All of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

For fixing atmospheric nitrogen -nitrolim is used and further $CaCN _2+C$ is used as fertilizer.

Which one of the following has magnesium?

chemistry the s-block elements (alkali and alkaline earth metals) biological importance of magnesium and calcium biological importance of elements biological importance of s block elements biological importance of sodium and potassium

  1. Vitamin $B _{12}$

  2. Chlorophyll

  3. Haemocyanin

  4. Carbonic anhydrase

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$Mg$ is present in chlorophyll which is a green pigment and is used in photosynthesis in green plants.

Hence option B is correct.

Ripening of fruits can be carried out in the presence of :

chemistry the s-block elements (alkali and alkaline earth metals) biological importance of magnesium and calcium biological importance of elements biological importance of s block elements biological importance of sodium and potassium

  1. $Na _2SO _4 $

  2. $NaCl$

  3. $CaCl _2$

  4. $CaC _2$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Calcium carbide is also used for ripening fruit artificially in some countries. When calcium carbide comes in contact with moisture, it produces acetylene gas, which is quite similar in reaction to the natural ripening agent ethylene.

Hence option  D is correct.

State True or False.
Magnesium is an essential constituent of chlorophyll, the green colouring matter of plants.

chemistry the s-block elements (alkali and alkaline earth metals) biological importance of magnesium and calcium biological importance of elements biological importance of s block elements biological importance of sodium and potassium

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A

Nitrolim is a mixture of :

chemistry the s-block elements (alkali and alkaline earth metals) biological importance of magnesium and calcium biological importance of elements biological importance of s block elements biological importance of sodium and potassium

  1. $CaC _2$ and graphite

  2. $CaCN _2$ and graphite

  3. $Ca(CN) _2$ and graphite

  4. $CaCN _2+N _2$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
 $CaC _2 +N _2\longrightarrow CaCN _2 +C$

When nitrogen is passed over calcium carbide at a suitable high temperature, we get a mixture of $CaCN _2 + Graphite (C)$ known as nitrolim which is a nitrogenous fertiliser."
