Question

Assertion (A): Pancreas secretes the hormone called insulin in the blood stream. The function of insulin is to raise the blood glucose level of a person so as to provide more energy.

Reason (R): The hormones produced by endocrine glands act as messengers between the nervous system and the organs of our body.

विकल्प

• Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of the assertion.

• Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

A is false but R is true.

Explanation:

The pancreas secretes insulin, but its function is to lower the blood glucose level, not to raise it. Therefore, Assertion (A) is false

Hormones produced by the endocrine glands act as chemical messengers and help coordinate activities between the nervous system and different organs of the body. Therefore, Reason (R) is true.

Hence, A is false but R is true.
