Question

Match List-I with List-II:

• (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To match List-I with List-II correctly, we need to understand the properties or characteristics associated with each option.

• (A) Glucocorticoids often relate to metabolic functions and stress responses; hence, they are associated with many physiological effects, including anti-inflammatory actions. Therefore, (A) corresponds to (II) Control of metabolism and stress resistance.
• (B) Oxytocin is primarily known for its role in social bonding and reproductive behaviors. Based on its hormonal function, (B) corresponds to (III) Induction of labor contractions.
• (C) Insulin is crucial in regulating glucose levels in the bloodstream, influencing sugar metabolism significantly. Therefore, (C) matches with (IV) Regulation of blood sugar levels.
• (D) Testosterone is a key hormone in the development of male characteristics and functions. It is associated with various anabolic and androgenic activities, so (D) pairs with (I) Development of male reproductive tissues.

Thus, the correct match of List-I with List-II is: (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)

Answer 2

You've accurately matched the biomolecules with their corresponding functions or diseases. Here's a breakdown:

List I - Biomolecules and List II - Functions/Diseases:

• (A) Vitamin A: (II) Xerophthalmia
  • Vitamin A is crucial for vision, particularly in low light.
  • Deficiency leads to Xerophthalmia, characterized by dry eyes and night blindness.
• (B) Thiamine (Vitamin B1): (III) Beri-Beri
  • Thiamine is essential for carbohydrate metabolism and nerve function.
  • Deficiency causes Beri-Beri, affecting the nervous and cardiovascular systems.
• (C) Glucocorticoids: (IV) Addison's disease
  • Glucocorticoids (like cortisol) are hormones produced by the adrenal glands.
  • Addison's disease occurs when the adrenal glands don't produce enough glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids.
• (D) Estradiol: (I) Menstrual cycle
  • Estradiol is a form of estrogen, a female sex hormone.
  • It plays a vital role in the regulation of the menstrual cycle.

Therefore, the correct matching is: (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
