Which of the following hormones is not chemically a glycoprotein? 

  1. Growth hormone

  2. Prolactin

  3. Luteinising hormone

  4. Estrogen
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
A. Growth hormone is a glycoprotein secreted by adenohypophysis of pituitary gland which helps in growth of body.
B. Prolactin is a glycoprotein secreted by adenohypophysis of pituitary gland which stimulates production and secretion of milk.
C. Luteinising hormone is a glycoprotein secreted by adenohypophysis of pituitary gland which induced ovulation.
D. Estrogen is a steroid hormone secreted by ovaries which help in development of female sexual characters.
So, the correct answer is 'Estrogen'.

Chemically epinephrine is 

  1. Amino acid derivative

  2. Steroid

  3. Peptide

  4. Glucocorticoid

  5. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Hormones have different chemical nature depending upon the type of molecules they are made up of. Some hormones like epinephrine are amino acid derivatives. Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline is secreted from adrenal medulla. It is derived from amino acid tyrosine. It contains a nitrogen atom and hence, known as amine. Epinephrine is secreted in response to stress conditions in the body and induces fight or flight reactions in the body.
So, the correct answer is 'Amino acid derivative'.

Which of the following hormones is a steroid?

  1. Oestrogen

  2. Insulin

  3. Glucagon

  4. Thyroxine
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol and are lipid-soluble molecules. Examples of steroid hormones include the sex hormones (androgens, oestrogens, and progesterone). Oestrogens helps in development and maintenance of an individual's feminine characteristics. Whereas, insulin, glucagon, and thyroxin are the protein hormone 

So, the correct answer is option A.

Biogenic amines are synthesized from

  1. Tryptophan

  2. Tyrosine

  3. Glutamic acid

  4. Phenylalanine
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Amines are the compounds that contain an amine group. They are formed as a result of deamination, a process in which amino group is removed from the amino acid. Some hormones like epinephrine and norepinephrine are amines. They are derived from amino acid tyrosine. 
So, the correct answer is 'Tyrosine'.

Supra optic nuclei (in hypothalamus) secrete the hormone.

  1. ADH

  2. Oxytocin

  3. Pitocin

  4. Both (2) and (3)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus primarily synthesize ADH (vasopressin), while the paraventricular nuclei primarily synthesize oxytocin. Both are transported to and released by the posterior pituitary.

Steroid hormones easilu pass through the plasma membrane by simple diffusion because they _______________.

  1. Are water soluble

  2. Contain carbon and hydrogen

  3. Enter through pores

  4. Are lipid soluble
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol and are hydrophobic (lipid-soluble). This property allows them to diffuse directly through the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane.

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Peptide hormones:

  1. are received by a receptor located in the plasma membrane

  2. are received by a receptor located in the cytoplasm

  3. bring about the transcription of DNA

  4. both (a) and (c)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Hormones produce their effects on target tissues by binding to specific proteins called hormone receptors located in the target tissue only. Hormone receptors present on the cell membrane of the target cells are called membrane-bound receptors and the receptors present inside the target cell are called intracellular receptors, mostly nuclear receptors (present in the nucleus. 

So the correct answer is are received by a receptor located in the plasma membrane.

Read the following pioints :- 
(i) Increase GFR
(ii) Increase B.P
(III) Decreases Blood Volume
(iv) Increases aldosterone secretion 
(v) Vasoconstrictor
(vi) Increases Na excretion
How many points are correct about angiotensin II?

  1. Two

  2. Three

  3. Four

  4. Five
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Angiotensin II - is a vasoconstrictor which causes an increase in BP (means a decrease in blood volume),  increase Na+ reabsorption, does not alter GFR, Angiotensin II can stimulate aldosterone secretion. 

So, the correct option is 'Two'.
