What happens when D-glucose is treated with the following ? Giveequations to support your answer.
(a) HI
(b) HNO3
OR
Give any two points of difference between globular and fibrous proteins.
(i)Reaction with HI

Here, HI acts as a reducing agent, and n-hexane is formed.
(ii)Reaction with HNO3
Saccharic acid, also known as glucaric acid is obtained when D-glucose is oxidised with nitric acid.
The –CHO and the primary alcoholic groups of glucose get converted to –COOH group.

Note- The secondary alcoholic groups of glucose remain intact and does not oxidised.
