The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which pair of hormones is not antagonistic, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Antagonistic Hormones**: Antagonistic hormones are those that have opposite effects on the same physiological function. For example, if one hormone increases a certain level in the body, the other hormone decreases it. 2. **Identify the Hormone Pairs**: The question provides several pairs of hormones. We need to analyze each pair to determine if they are antagonistic or not. 3. **Analyze Each Pair**: - **Pair 1: Calcitonin and Parathormone**: - Calcitonin decreases blood calcium levels. - Parathormone increases blood calcium levels. - **Conclusion**: This pair is antagonistic. - **Pair 2: Cortisol and Insulin**: - Cortisol increases blood glucose levels. - Insulin decreases blood glucose levels. - **Conclusion**: This pair is antagonistic. - **Pair 3: Insulin and Glucagon**: - Insulin decreases blood glucose levels. - Glucagon increases blood glucose levels. - **Conclusion**: This pair is antagonistic. - **Pair 4: Calcitriol and Calbindin Hormone**: - Calcitriol (active form of Vitamin D) promotes calcium absorption. - Calbindin also promotes calcium absorption. - **Conclusion**: This pair is not antagonistic; they are synergistic (they work together). 4. **Select the Correct Answer**: Since the question asks for the pair that is not antagonistic, the correct answer is **Calcitriol and Calbindin Hormone**. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **D: Calcitriol and Calbindin Hormone**. ---
