(a) Cyclic AMP
(b) Insulin
(c) T3
(d) Gastrin
Ans. (a)
Solution: Hormones which interact with membrane-bound receptors normally do not enter the target cell, but generate secondary messengers (e.g., cyclic AMP, cGMP, DAG, IP3, Ca++ etc.) which in turn regulate cellular metabolism.

Q.7. Leydig cells produce a group of hormones called
(a) Androgens
(b) Estrogens

(c) Aldosterone
(d) Gonadotropins

Ans. (a)
Solution: The Leydig's cells present in the connective tissue between seminiferous tubules produce a group of hormones called androgens mainly testosterone.


Q.8. Corpus luteum secretes a
(a) Prolactin
(b) Progesterone
(c) Aldosterone
(d) Testosterone

Ans. (b)
Solution: In the luteal phase, corpus luteum is formed by the remaining tissue of the ruptured Graafian follicle after ovulation. Corpus luteum secretes a large amount of progesterone for the proliferation and maintenance of the endometrium for the implantation of the fertilized ovum.

Q.9. Cortisol is secreted from gland called
(a) Pancreas
(b) Thyroid
(c) Adrenal
(d) Thymus

Ans. (c)
Solution: Adrenal or suprarenal glands are paired structures located on the top of the kidneys. The cells of Zopa fasciculate of adrenal cortex secretes mainly glucocorticoids. Glucocorticoids include three main hormones: cortisol(= hydrocortisone), corticosterone and cortisone. They affect carbohydrate metabolism, however, they also affect the metabolism of proteins and fats.

Q.10. A hormone responsible for normal sleep-wake cycle is
(a) Epinephrine
(b) Gastrin
(c) Melatonin
(d) Insulin

Ans. (c)
Solution: A hormone responsible for normal sleep-wake cycle is melatonin.

Melatonin is a hormone secreted by pineal gland. Immediately above the optic chiasma(in the brain) in a nucleus, are present melatonin receptors that react to this hormone and synchronise the nucleus to the 24hrs day/night rhythm, thus informing the brain when it is day and when it is night.

FAQs on NCERT Exemplars: Chemical Coordination & Integration - 1 - Biology Class 11 - NEET

1. What is chemical coordination and integration?
Ans. Chemical coordination and integration refers to the process by which different organs and systems in the body communicate with each other through chemical messengers called hormones. These hormones are secreted by various endocrine glands and help in regulating various physiological functions and maintaining homeostasis in the body.
2. Which organs are involved in the process of chemical coordination and integration?
Ans. The major organs involved in the process of chemical coordination and integration are the endocrine glands. These include the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, testes (in males), and ovaries (in females). These glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream, which then travel to target organs to exert their effects.
3. How do hormones regulate physiological functions in the body?
Ans. Hormones regulate physiological functions in the body by binding to specific receptors on target cells or organs. Once the hormone binds to its receptor, it initiates a series of biochemical reactions within the target cell, leading to various responses. These responses can include changes in gene expression, activation of enzymes, alteration of membrane permeability, or stimulation of cellular growth and development.
4. What are some common disorders related to chemical coordination and integration?
Ans. There are several disorders related to chemical coordination and integration. Some common examples include diabetes mellitus (caused by insufficient insulin production or insulin resistance), hypothyroidism (caused by decreased thyroid hormone production), hyperthyroidism (caused by excessive thyroid hormone production), Addison's disease (caused by adrenal gland insufficiency), and Cushing's syndrome (caused by excessive cortisol production).
5. How can imbalances in hormonal levels be treated?
Ans. The treatment of imbalances in hormonal levels depends on the specific disorder and its underlying cause. It may involve hormone replacement therapy, medications to regulate hormone production or action, surgical removal of abnormal glands or tumors, or lifestyle modifications. Regular monitoring of hormone levels and close collaboration with healthcare professionals is crucial for managing hormonal imbalances effectively.
