[A] : The hormone aldosterone is secreted by adrenal cortex after the low Na^+ content in blood and the resultant low BP causes the kidney to release renin. [R]: Renin in blood leads to the formation of angiotensin II which causes adrenel cortex to release aldosterone that causes kidney to re- tain Na^+ and, therefore, water is reabsorbed and BP rises.

In this sectin each item consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and sixth sentences are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been jumbled up and labelled as P, Q, R and S. You are required to find the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet. S1 : Hormones have several functions in the body. S6 : The two hormones together regulate the glucose level in the blood. P : They help to maintain the balance of biological activities in the body. Q : Insulin is released in response to the rapid rise in blood glucose level. R : On the other hand hormone glucagon tends to increase the glucose level in the blood. S : The role of insulin in keeping the blood glucose level within the narrow limit is an example of this function. The correct sequence should be

Which of the following hormone levels will cause release of ovum (ovulation) from the graffian follicle?

Read the following statements (A - D) : 1. Catecholamines secreted from adrenal medulla stimulate breakdown of glycogen resulting in an increased concentration of glucose in blood. 2. Cortisol is also involved in maintaining the cardio -vascular syem as well as kidney functions. 3. Hormone released from zona fasciculate produce anti-inflammatroy reactions and suppresses the immune response. 4. Androgenic steroids secreted by adrenal cortex play a role in growth of axial hair, pubic hair and facial hair during puberty. How many of the above statements are ture?

The constant motion and high velocities of gas particles lead to some important practical consquences. One such consquences is that gases mix rapidly when they come in contact. Take the stopper off a bottle of perfume, for instance, and the odour will spread rapidly through the room as perfume molecules mix with the molecules in the air. This mixing of different gases by random molecular motion and with frequent collision is called diffusion. A similar process in which gas molecules escape without collision through a tiny hole into a vacuum is called effusion. Both the processes follow Graham's law which is mathematically put as r prop sqrt(1//d) . The average distance travelled by molecules between successive collisions is called mean free path. Answer the following questions on the basis of the above information: When CO_(2) under high pressure is released from a fire extinguisher, particles of solid CO_(2) are formed, despite the low sublimation temperature (-77^(@)C) at 1 atm because
