Erythropoietin is a
-
Lipid
-
Mucopolysaccharide
-
Glycoprotein
-
Nucleoprotein
- Erythropoietin is a hormone released by the kidney.
- It is a glycoprotein.
- This hormone helps in the proliferation and differentiation of erythrocyte precursors.
- Thus, they produce red blood cells (RBCs) from the bone marrow cells and this process is also known as erythropoiesis.
- The cells of the kidney that produces erythropoietin are sensitive to low oxygen levels in the blood that travels to the kidney.
- So, the correct answer is 'Glycoprotein'.
Erythropoietin is produced by
-
Thymus
-
Pituitary
-
Heart
-
Kidney
Erythropoietin is released by
-
Bone marrow
-
Spleen
-
Kidneys
-
Liver

- The cells of the kidney that produces erythropoietin are sensitive to low oxygen levels in the blood that travels to the kidney.
- The extrarenal site for erythropoietin release is liver.
- So, the correct answer is 'Kidneys'.
Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Which of the following is not a means by which oxygen and/or carbon dioxide are transported in the bloodstream of vertebrates?
-
As oxyhaemoglobin
-
As hydrogencarbonate ions
-
In solution in the plasma
-
Erythropoietin
Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood from the tissue to the lungs in three ways: (i) dissolved in solution in the plasma; (ii) buffered with bicarbonate (i.e as hydrogen carbonate ions) and (iii) bound to proteins, particularly hemoglobin. So, the correct option is 'Erythropoietin'.
Erythropoietin stimulates
-
Osmoregulation
-
Formation of RBC
-
Reduces blood pressure
-
Formation of WBC
Chymase is a
-
Rennin
-
Activator of prorennin
-
Activator of chymotrypsinogen
-
Gastric juice
- Chymase is a chymotrypsin-like serine protease found in the mast cells and also present in basophil granulocytes.
- Chymase hydrolyzes chymotryptic substrates by activating chymotrypsinogen.
- So, the correct answer is 'Activator of chymotrypsinogen'.
Deficiency of hormones is caused to due to
-
Hyposecretion
-
Hyperscretion
-
Sweating
-
None of the above
- Hyposecretion- too little of any hormone in the body can be caused by a large pituitary tumour, which interferes with the pituitary gland's ability to produce hormones. Hence, Deficiency of hormones is caused to due to Hyposecretion.
Which of the following is known as chemical messenger?
-
Hormone
-
Enzyme
-
Colostrum
-
None of the above
Enzymes, vitamins and hormones are common in
-
Being proteinaceous
-
Being synthesised in the body organisms
-
Enhancing oxidative metabolism
-
Regulating metabolism
