Which of the following is scientific explanation of depression?

  1. An increased level of sugar in the blood leads to depression.

  2. Low levels of noradrenaline, a neurotransmitter in the blood lead to depression.

  3. Release of extra gastric juice in the stomach lead to depression.

  4. Sleep incducing drugs lead to depression.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Noradrenaline is a neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood swings. Low levels of noradrenaline lower the signal-sending activity and make the person suffers from depression. 

Drugs which bind strongly to the active site of an enzyme and do not depend upon the concentration of natural substrate are called as:

  1. competitive inhibitors

  2. non-competitive inhibitors

  3. $\beta$-blockers

  4. $\alpha$-blockers


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Competitive inhibitors are the interruption of a chemical pathway owing to one chemical substance inhibiting the effect of another by competing with it for binding or bonding.

These drugs bind to active sites and do not depend on the concentration of natural substrate.

Which of the following statements is not true about enzyme inhibitors?

  1. Inhibit the catalytic activity of the enzyme.

  2. Prevent the binding of substrate.

  3. Generally a strong covalent bond is formed between an inhibitor and an enzymes.

  4. Inhibitors can be competitive or non-competitive.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Generally a weak bond such as H-bonding, van der Waals interaction etc. is formed between an inhibitor and an enzyme.

Noradrenaline is one of the example of :

  1. anti-depressant

  2. anti-Histamine

  3. neurotransmitter

  4. antacid


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Solution:- (C) Neutrotransmitter

Noradrenaline is one of the example of Neurotransmitter

What is the source of receptor proteins?

  1. Interior of a cell

  2. Cell wall

  3. Out of cell wall

  4. Fixed in the cell membrane partially inside and partially projected outward


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The source of receptor proteins is fixed in the cell wall, partly inside and partly projected out of the cell wall.
This is so that chemical messengers can interact with the outside portion of receptor protein, which transfers the signal to interior of cell via the receptor protein.
Hence, signal is transferred from outside the cell to inside without the messenger having to cross the cell membrane.

Drugs which supplement (or) substitute for chemical messengers are :

  1. antagonists

  2. agonists

  3. blocking chemicals

  4. all


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

An agonist is a chemical that binds to some receptor of a cell and triggers a response by that cell. Agonists often mimic the action of a naturally occurring substance. Whereas an agonist causes an action, an antagonist blocks the action of the agonist and an inverse agonist causes an action opposite to that of the agonist. So agonist drugs copy the action of the chemical messengers thereby substituting them.

Which of the following statements is not true about enzyme inhibitors?

  1. Inhibit the catalytic activity of the enzyme.

  2. Prevent the binding of substrate.

  3. Generally, a strong covalent bond is formed between an inhibitor and an enzyme.

  4. Inhibitors can be competitive or non-competitive.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Enzyme inhibitors bind reversibly and irreversibly.
They bind reversibly with non-covalent bond, whereas, they bind irreversibly with covalent bond where they change the key amino acid residues needed for enzymatic activity.
Hence, option C is correct.

Which site of an enzyme is called allosteric site?

  1. which binds to the cell wall

  2. where drugs bind to an enzyme

  3. which is not the active site, where some drugs bind to an enzyme

  4. none of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

 The allosteric site is the site, which is not the active site, where some drugs bind to an enzyme. Due to this, the shape of the enzyme changes, it becomes difficult for the substrate to recognize the active site of the enzyme. This represents non-competitive inhibition.

Assertion: There is a scientific explanation for the feeling of depression.

Reason:  In people who are depressed, the mood-regulating neurotransmitters fail to function normally, so that the signal is either depleted or disrupted before passing to the next nerve cell. In all depressions, it is likely that the transmission of serotonin is reduced or disrupted.

Choose the correct options.
  1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct

  2. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect

  3. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

  4. Assertion is incorrect but reason is correct


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Neurotransmitters are chemicals that carry signals from one part of the brain to the next. There are many neurotransmitters, serving different purposes, however, three important ones that affect a person's mood are serotonin, noradrenaline and dopamine. 


In normal brain function, neurotransmitters jump from one nerve cell to the next, with the signal being as strong in the second and subsequent cells as it was in the first. However, in people who are depressed, the mood-regulating neurotransmitters fail to function normally, so that the signal is either depleted or disrupted before passing to the next nerve cell. 

In all depressions, it is likely that the transmission of serotonin is reduced or disrupted.

Hence, option A is correct.

The bond formed between an enzyme and an inhibitor:

  1. can be broken easily

  2. cannot be broken easily

  3. is a weak bond

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
If the bond formed between an enzyme and an inhibitor is a strong covalent bond, it cannot be broken easily. Then the enzyme is blocked permanently and the body degrades the enzyme-inhibitor complex and synthesizes the new enzyme.

Antagonistic drug displaces an agonist at that receptor it seemingly deactivates it thereby reversing the effect of the agonist.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Ambiguous

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A

Assertion : Receptors are crucial to body's communication process
Reason : Receptors are proteins

  1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

  2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is NOT the correct explanation for Assertion

  3. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

  4. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect

  5. Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct

  6. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Option (B) is correct. 
Receptors are proteins that are crucial to body's communication process. They receives and responds to a neurotransmitter, or other substance. Majority of them are embedded in the cell membrane, in such a way their small part possessing active site projects out of the surface of the membrane and opens on the outer region of the cell membrane.

Assertion :

Chemical messenger gives a message to the cell without entering the cell

Reason : 
Chemical messenger is received at the binding site of receptor proteins

  1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

  2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion

  3. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

  4. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect

  5. Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct

  6. Answer required


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Chemical messenger is received at the binding site of receptor proteins and gives the message to the cell without entering the cell. To accommodate the messenger, the shape of receptor changes. In the body,message between two neurons and that between neurons and muscles is communicated through certain chemicals called as chemical messengers.


Thus, Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

Hence, the correct option is $\text{A}$

Assertion : Receptor proteins show selectivity for one chemical messenger over the other
Reason : Chemical messenger binds to the receptor site and inhibits is natural function

  1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

  2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion

  3. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

  4. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect

  5. Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct

  6. Answer required


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

D. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
Inhibitor binds to the receptor site and inhibits is natural function. Chemical messengers bind to the receptor site and convey the information to the interior of the cell. 

What are the substances which mimic the natural chemical messengers?

  1. Antibiotics

  2. Antagonist

  3. Agonists

  4. Recepter


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Agonists are the chemicals that bind to a receptor and activates the receptor to produce a biological response Whereas an agonist causes an action, an antagonist blocks the action of the against and an inverse against causes an action opposite to that of the against Therefore it is a substance which mimics the natural chemical messengers.


Hence, the correct option is $\text{C}$

Agonists can:

  1. inhibit function of receptors

  2. mimic natural chemical messengers

  3. help transfer of message to receptors

  4. inhibit the catalytic activity of the enzyme


Correct Option: B,C
Explanation:

Agonist: A substance that acts like another substance and therefore stimulates an action. Agonist is the opposite of antagonist. Antagonists and agonists are key players in the chemistry of the human body and in pharmacology.

An agonist is a chemical that binds to a receptor and activates the receptor to produce a biological response. Whereas an agonist causes an action, an antagonist blocks the action of the agonist and an inverse agonist causes an action opposite to that of the agonist.
Receptors can be activated by either endogenous (such as hormones and neurotransmitters) or exogenous (such as drugs) agonists, resulting in a biological response. A physiological agonist is a substance that creates the same bodily responses but does not bind to the same receptor.

Drugs that bind to the receptor sites and inhibit its natural function are called analgesics.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Drugs that bind to the receptor site and inhibit its natural function are called Antagonists. These are useful when blocking of message is required. So, the statement is false.

Which of the following increases blood pressure and heart beat?

  1. Noradrenaline

  2. Dopamine

  3. Serotonin

  4. Adrenaline


Correct Option: A,D
Explanation:

Noradrenaline interacts with beta receptors found on pacemaker cells in the heart. It stimulates the pacemaker cells, thereby increasing the rate at which they generate electrical charges. Each charge released from pacemaker cells cause the heart to contract. Noradrenaline increases heart rate initially but this effect is minimized by its effect on blood vessel.
Also, a rise in adrenaline increases heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol, artery wall inflammation and blood clotting.

Assertion : Enzymes have active sites that hold substrate molecule for a chemical reaction
Reason : Drugs compete with natural substrate by attaching covalently to the active site of enzyme

  1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

  2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is NOT the correct explanation for Assertion

  3. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

  4. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect

  5. Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct

  6. Answer reqiured


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Option (B) is correct.
$A$ :  Enzymes have active sites that hold substrate molecule for a chemical reaction. The substrate is held at the active site in a suitable and right position, for effective attack of reagent. This can be explained by lock and key model. The forces between the active site and substrate can be covalent bond, hydrogen bond, van der waal's forces etc.
$R$ : Drugs compete with natural substrate by attaching covalently to the active site of enzyme. Many drugs acts as enzyme inhibitors. Inhibition by particular chemicals can be a source of insight into the mechanism of enzyme action: specific inhibitors can often be used to identify residues critical for catalysis.

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.

  1. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

  2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct. 

  3. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the incorrect explanation for Assertion.

  4. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.

  5. non of these

  6. A and B


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Option (D) is correct. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
Chemical messengers are chemicals that enable communication of message between two neurons or between neurons and muscles.Chemical messages are transmitted to specific receptors through the extracellular fluids or across the synaptic gap.
These chemical messengers interact with receptors without entering the cell and change the shape of receptor and deliver the message.
