MCQ
Blood calcium level can be increased by the administration of
- AGlucogon
- BCalcitonin
- CThyroxine
- ✓Paratharmone
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Paratharmone
d
$A$. Glucagon is secreted from alpha cells of islets of Langerhans of pancreas. It increases blood sugar level by stimulating glycogenolysis (i.e. break down of glucose) and gluconeogenesis (synthesis of glucose).
$A$. Glucagon is secreted from alpha cells of islets of Langerhans of pancreas. It increases blood sugar level by stimulating glycogenolysis (i.e. break down of glucose) and gluconeogenesis (synthesis of glucose).
$B.$ Thyroxine is secreted from thyroid gland. It stimulates the consumption of oxygen by metabolically active tissues and also increases the oxidation of glucose in tissues.
$C.$ Parathormone is secreted from parathyroid gland and increases calcium reabsorption from the bones and causes mobilisation of calcium in the blood.
$D.$ Calcitonin is secreted from the $C-$cells of thyroid gland and acts on bone and kidneys to reduce blood calcium level. Hence, blood calcium level is increased by parathormone. So, the correct answer is $'Parathormone'$.

→$2 \mathrm{~A}_{(\mathrm{g})}+\mathrm{B}_{(\mathrm{g})} \rightarrow \mathrm{C}_{(\mathrm{g})}$
The initial rate of the reaction is recorded as $r_1$ when the reaction starts with $1.5 \mathrm{~atm}$ pressure of $\mathrm{A}$ and $0.7 \mathrm{~atm}$ pressure of B. After some time, the rate $r_2$ is recorded when the pressure of $C$ becomes $0.5 \mathrm{~atm}$. The ratio $r_1: r_2$ is $\qquad$ $\times 10^{-1}$.
