Functions of oxytocin are: 
(i) It helps uterine muscles to contract and also increases production of prostaglandins
(ii) Sometimes it is given to induce labor if it has not started naturally or it can be used to strengthen contractions to aid childbirth.
(iii) Stimulate the release of milk from the mother's mammary glands.

The hormone which  transport glucose from blood tissue is

  1. glucogen

  2. insulin

  3. throxin

  4. heparin


Correct Option: B

The enzyme that is not associated in the preparation of $C _{2}H _{5}OH$ from starch is:

  1. maltase

  2. diastase

  3. invertase

  4. zymase


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Starch is hydrolyzed to Maltose by an enzyme called diastase
Maltase converts Maltose to Glucose
Zymase converts Glucose to ethanol.
So the enzyme that is not associated in the preparation of ${C} _{2}{H} _{5}OH$ from starch is invertase

Coenzyme is :

  1. the non-protein component of an enzyme which is loosely held by the enzyme and necessary for its biological activity

  2. the protein component of an enzyme which is loosely held by the enzyme and necessary for its biological activity

  3. the non-protein or protein component of an enzyme which is loosely held by the enzyme and necessary for its biological activity

  4. none of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

coenzyme is an organic non-protein compound that binds with an enzyme to catalyze a reaction. coenzyme cannot function alone, but can be reused several times when paired with an enzyme. Without coenzymes or cofactors, enzymes cannot catalyze reactions effectively.

Pick out the one which does not belong to the family of enzymes.

  1. Lipase

  2. Pepsin

  3. Ptylin

  4. Cellulose


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cellulose is the carbohydrate which is not considered as enzyme.
Hence option D is correct.
