Explanation:
To understand the number of tripeptides formed by three different amino acids using each amino acid once, consider the amino acids as distinct objects we need to arrange. In this case, we have 3 amino acids (let’s name them A, B, and C for simplicity). The question asks how many unique sequences (tripeptides) we can form if we use each amino acid exactly once.
Arranging 3 distinct items in a sequence is a fundamental combinatorial problem. The number of ways to arrange n distinct objects is given by the factorial of n, denoted as n!. The factorial function (n!) means multiplying all whole numbers from n down to 1. Therefore, for 3 amino acids, the number of unique tripeptides we can form is calculated by 3! (3 factorial).
3! = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6
This means there are 6 possible unique tripeptides that can be formed using these three different amino acids exactly once, which are: ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB, CBA.

Number of compounds from the following which will not produce orange red precipitate with Benedict solution is ___________.
Glucose, maltose, sucrose, ribose, 2-deoxyribose, amylose, lactose
Explanation:
Given the compounds :
1. Glucose - is a reducing sugar, as it has a free aldehyde group.
2. Maltose - is a reducing sugar. It has a free anomeric carbon that can form an aldehyde group.
3. Sucrose - is not a reducing sugar. Its glycosidic bond locks the anomeric carbons, preventing them from forming an aldehyde or ketone.
4. Ribose - is a reducing sugar, as it has an aldehyde group.
5. 2-deoxyribose - is a reducing sugar. It has a free anomeric carbon that can form an aldehyde group.
6. Amylose - is a polysaccharide and does not typically behave as a reducing sugar in Benedict's test. Even though one end of the amylose chain can technically open to reveal an aldehyde group (the so-called reducing end), the reaction would likely be much less dramatic than with true reducing sugars, and might not occur at all under typical test conditions.
7. Lactose - is a reducing sugar, as it has a free anomeric carbon that can form an aldehyde group.
Hence, out of the seven compounds listed, sucrose and amylose will not likely produce an orange-red precipitate with Benedict's solution. Thus, the number of compounds that will not produce an orange-red precipitate with Benedict's solution is 2.
Testosterone, which is a steroidal hormone, has the following structure.
The total number of asymmetric carbon atom/s in testosterone is ____________.

Total number of tripeptides possible by mixing of valine and proline is ___________
Explanation:
To calculate the total number of tripeptides possible by mixing valine and proline, we need to use the fundamental principle of counting.
Since a tripeptide is made up of three amino acids, and we have two choices for each position (either valine or proline), we can use the multiplication principle to find the total number of possible tripeptides.
That is, the total number of tripeptides possible by mixing valine and proline is:
2 x 2 x 2 = 8
Therefore, there are a total of 8 possible tripeptides that can be formed by mixing valine and proline.

$\%$ by mass of $N=\frac{14 \times 2}{112} \times 100$
