i) Lipids should be kept under micromolecules as their molecular weight under is 1000 Dalton, but they are not kept under them as it was found out that lipids are insoluble in acid, so they get remained in the filter paper while filtering when the experiment was done. ii) The polysaccharide chain on the right side has a free reactive end and is known as reducing and the left side is the non-reducing end. iii) Cellulose is a linear, unbranched homopolysaccharide of D- glucose residues joined by β1→4 glycosidic bonds which do not trap iodine molecules. iv) Collagen is the most abundant protein in animal world and RUBISCO is the most abundant protein in the whole of the biosphere.
