Secretin is a gastro intestinal tract hormone that :

(a) acts on exocrine portion of pancreas and stimulates the secretion of water and
bicarbonate ions cells to secrete glucagon
(b) acts on endocrine portion of pancreas and stimulates
(c) acts on gastric glands and stimulates secretion of hydrochloric acid and
pepsinogen
(d) stimulates secretion of gastric lipase from stomach
Ans. (a)
Acid neutralizer present in mucus of saliva :
(a) Biucarbonate ion (b) Thiocynate (c) Sodium acetate (d) Sodium hydroxide
Ans. (a)
Which of the following binds with haemoglobin irreversibly ?
(a) Carbon dioxide (b) Oxygen (c) Carbon monoxide (d) Nitrogen
Ans. (c)
Dissociation of oxyhaemoglobin in blood increases when there is:
(a) increase in pH and decrease in CO2 concentration
(b) decrease in temperature and increase in O2 concentration
(c) increase in O2 concentration and decrease in CO2 concentration
(d) decrease in pH and increase in CO2 concentration
Ans. (d) Sol. Bohr effect is due to increased pCO 2 and decrease in pH. O2 carrying
capacity of blood decreases.
Which of the following is considered as a hyperglycemic factor ?
(a) Insulin (b) Glucagon (c) Aldosterone (d) Parathormone
Ans. (b)
Which one of the following is not a zymogen ?
(a) Trypsinogen (b) Pepsinogen (c) Angiotensin-II (d) Procollagenase
Ans. (c) Sol. Angiotensin II is formed from Angiotensinogen secreted by liver

_______________hormone contracts gallbladder to release bile.

(a) Gastrin (b) Secretin (c) Enterogastrin (d) Cholecystokinin
Ans. (d)
Intake of ORS inhibits the secretion of:
(a) Vasopressin (b) Oxytocin (c) Melatonin (d) Thyroxine
Ans. (a) Sol. Due to intake of ORS, body fluid volume is retained, so no need to
secrete ADH.
The hormone which regulates the gene-expression of the target cells is:
(a) Prolactin (b) Oxytocin (c) Thyroxin (d) Growth hormone
Ans. (c) Sol. Thyroxine is lipid soluble hormone, so can cross plasma membrane &
will bind to DNA with the help of intracellular receptor.
During pregnancy degeneration of corpus luteum is prevented by the hormone :
(a) HCG (b) HPL (c) LH (d) Relaxin
Ans. (a)
Photolysis of water during photosynthesis takes place in presence of
(a) Mn (b) Cl (d) Mn and Hg (c) Mn and Cl
(b) Ans. (c)
