Answer

• The substrate binds to the active site of enzyme (E+S).

• The substrate is tightly bound with active site of enzyme to form enzyme- substrate complex (ES).

• The active site breaks chemical bonds of substrate to form enzyme- product complex (EP).

• The enzyme releases the products (E+P).

16) Like insulin and glucagon, PTH and calcitonin are antagonistic in their action in maintaining normal blood calcium level. Substantiate this statement.

Answer

Insulin decreases blood glucose level (hypoglycemic hormone) and Glucagon increases blood glucose level (hyperglycemic hormone).

Likewise, PTH increases Ca2+ level in blood (hypercalcaemic hormone). Calcitonin decreases Ca2+ level in blood (hypocalcaemic hormone).

Thus PTH and TCT are antagonistic in action.

Impulse reaches at axon terminal → synaptic vesicles bind on plasma membrane → release of neurotransmitter → It diffuses across synaptic cleft → combine with receptors on the post synaptic membrane → opening of ion channels allowing entry of ions → generates action potential.
18) Match the items in columns B and C with A.

Answer

19) “The functioning of human kidney is efficiently monitored and regulated by hormonal actions of hypothalamus pituitary, JGA and to a certain extent by heart."

b) Justify your answer with suitable reasons.

Answer

a) Yes.

b) ADH is produced by hypothalamus. It regulates the kidney function by constricting blood vessels and helping in water reabsorption.

JGA is found in the distal convoluted tubule. A fall in GFR activate the JG cells to release renin which stimulate the glomerular blood flow.

ANF is found atrial wall of heart. It causes vasodilation (dilation of blood vessels) and thereby decrease the blood pressure.
