Assertion: Deoxyribose, \[\ce{C5H10O4}\] is not a carbohydrate.
Reason: Carbohydrates are hydrates of carbon so compounds which follow \[\ce{C_x(H2O)_y}\] formula are carbohydrates.

Match the class of compounds given in Column I with their functions given in Column II.
| Column I | Column II |
| (i) Antagonists | (a) Communicate message between two neurons and that between neurons to muscles |
| (ii) Agonists | (b) Bind to the receptor site and inhibit its natural function |
| (iii) Chemical messenger | (c) Crucial to body’s communication process |
| (iv) Inhibitors | (d) Mimic the natural messenger |
| (v) Receptors | (e) Inhibit activities of enzymes |

Assertion: Receptors are crucial to body’s communication process.
Reason: Receptors are proteins.
Concept: undefined >> undefined
Assertion: Chemical messengers are chemicals that enable communication of message between two neurons or between neurons and muscles.
Reason: Chemicals enter the cell through receptor.
Concept: undefined >> undefined
Assertion: Chemical messenger gives message to the cell without entering the cell.
Reason: Chemical messenger is received at the binding site of receptor proteins.
Concept: undefined >> undefined
Assertion: Receptor proteins show selectivity for one chemical messenger over the other.
Reason: Chemical messenger binds to the receptor site and inhibits its natural function.
