    Read the given passage and answer question number 1 to 5 that follow : Hormones are molecules that act as intercellular messengers . These are produced by endocrine glands in the body and are poured directly in the blood stream which transports them to the site of action . In terms of chemical nature , some of these steriod ,e.g., estrogens and androgens, some other are amino acid derivatives such as epinephrine and norepinephrine. Hormones have several function in the body. The help to maintain theh balance of biological activities in the body . The role of insulin in keeping the blood glucose level within the narrow limits is an example of this function . Insulin is relased in response to the rapid rise in blood glucose level . On the other hand hormore glucagon tends to increase the glucose level in the blood . The two hormones together regulate teh glucose level in the blood. Epinephrine and norepinephrine mediate respones to external stimuli.Growth hormones and sex hormones play role in the grwoth and development.
