Pancreas has two types of cells namely islets of Langerhans and acinar cells. In the early years of research on diabetes, extract of this gland was tested on diabetic patients. Resutls are tabulated below. (i) Extract of pancereas -
(ii) Islet cell extract +
(iii) Acinar cell extract -
The correct interpretation is that

A

anti-diabetic factor in extract'C' was inactivated by extract 'A'

B

anti-diabetic factor present in 'A' was destroyed by 'B'

C

both 'A' and 'C' destoyed the anti=diabetic factor present in 'B'

D

anti diabetic factor present in 'B' was destroyed by

The correct Answer is:
To interpret the results from the pancreas extracts tested on diabetic patients, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Components of the Pancreas**: - The pancreas has two types of cells: - **Islets of Langerhans**: These are endocrine cells that secrete hormones like insulin, which helps to lower blood sugar levels. - **Acinar Cells**: These are exocrine cells that produce digestive enzymes and do not have a direct role in blood sugar regulation. 2. **Analyze the Results**: - The results of the extracts are as follows: - Extract of pancreas: Negative effect on blood sugar levels (ineffective). - Islet cell extract: Positive effect (effective in reducing blood sugar levels). - Acinar cell extract: Negative effect (ineffective). 3. **Understand the Implications**: - The pancreas extract (which contains both islet and acinar cell components) was ineffective in lowering blood sugar. This suggests that the presence of acinar cell factors may inhibit the action of the islet cell factors. - The islet cell extract alone was effective, indicating that it contains the necessary anti-diabetic factors (like insulin). 4. **Draw Conclusions**: - Since the acinar cell extract was ineffective and the islet cell extract was effective, it can be concluded that the acinar cells might be producing substances that counteract the effects of the islet cells. - Therefore, the correct interpretation is that the anti-diabetic factor present in the islet cell extract (B) was destroyed or inhibited by the presence of factors from the acinar cells (A). 5. **Select the Correct Interpretation**: - Based on the analysis, the correct interpretation of the results is that the anti-diabetic factor present in the islet cell extract (B) was destroyed or inhibited by the acinar cell extract (A). ### Final Answer: The correct interpretation is that the anti-diabetic factor present in the islet cell extract (B) was destroyed by the acinar cell extract (A). ---

Fuel cells : Fuel cells are galvanic cells in which the chemical energy of fuel cell is directly converted into electrical energy. A type of fuel cell is a hydrogen - oxygen fuel cell. It consists of two electrodes made up of two porous graphite impregnated with a catalyst ( platinum, silver, or metal oxide ). The electrodes are placed in aqueous solution of NaOH . Oxygen and hydrogen are continuously fed into the cell. Hydrogen gets oxidized to H^(o+) which is neutralized by overset(c-)(O)H, i.e., anodic reaction. At cathode, O_(2) gets reduced to overset(c-)(O)H Hence, the net reaction is The overall reaction has DeltaH=-285.6 kJ mol^(-1) and DeltaG=-237.4 kJ mol^(-1) at 25^(@)C A fuel cell is I. A voltaic cell in which continuous supply of fuels are sent at anode to perform oxidation. II. A voltaci cell in which fuels such as :CH_(4),H_(2), and CO are used up at anode. III. One which involves the reaction of H_(2)-O_(2) fuel cell such as : Anode :2H_(2)O+4overset(c-)(O)H rarr 4H_(2)O(l)+4e^(c-) Cathode : O_(2)+2H_(2)O(l) =4e^(-) rarr 4overset(c-)(O)H IV. The efficiency of H_(2)-O_(20 fuel cell is 70 to 75%
