Match List-I with List-II.
| List-I (Hormone) | List-II (Role or effect in the body) |
|---|---|
| (A) Glucagon | (I) Prepares the uterus for implantation of the fertilised egg |
| (B) Thyroxine | (II) Tends to increase the glucose level in the blood |
| (C) Estradiol | (III) Participates in the control of the menstrual cycle |
| (D) Progesterone | (IV) An abnormally low level of it leads to lethargy and obesity |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I
Hormones help keep the biological activities of the body in balance. Glucagon acts on the blood glucose level, thyroxine is produced in the thyroid gland, and estradiol and progesterone are female hormones with different roles.
(A) Glucagon — This matches (II) Tends to increase the glucose level in the blood. It works against insulin; the two hormones together regulate the glucose level in the blood.
(B) Thyroxine — This matches (IV) An abnormally low level of it leads to lethargy and obesity. This condition is hypothyroidism.
(C) Estradiol — This matches (III) Participates in the control of the menstrual cycle. It is the main female sex hormone.
(D) Progesterone — This matches (I) Prepares the uterus for implantation of the fertilised egg.
NCERT (2026-27 edition):
10.6 Hormones – “Insulin is released in response to the rapid rise in blood glucose level. On the other hand hormone glucagon tends to increase the glucose level in the blood. The two hormones together regulate the glucose level in the blood.”
“Thyroxine produced in the thyroid gland is an iodinated derivative of amino acid tyrosine. Abnormally low level of thyroxine leads to hypothyroidism which is characterised by lethargyness and obesity.”
“…estradiol is the main female sex hormone. It is responsible for development of secondary female characteristics and participates in the control of menstrual cycle. Progesterone is responsible for preparing the uterus for implantation of fertilised egg.”
