Question : Chlorophyll 'a' is the primary pigment for the ligh reaction. What are accessory pigments ? What is their role is photosynthesis ?

Answer»

Solution :Chlorophyll (b), Xanthophyll and carotenoids are accessory pigmets. They are not associated with STIMULATION of electrons. But they absorb solar ENERGY and CONCENTRATE it TOWARDS chlorophyll-a.
Chlorophyll-a absorts maximum radiation of blue and red colour so it is called a main PIGMENT while chlorophyll-b, Xanthophyll and carotenoids are called accessory pigments.

19684.

Question : Chemically hormones are divided into which groups ?

Answer»

Solution :
Hormones preduce their effects on target tissues by binding to SPECIFIC PROTEINS called hormone receptors located in the target tissues only.
Hormone receptors present on the cell membrane of the target cells are celled membrane bound receptors and the receptors present inside the target cell are called intracellular receptors, mostly nuclear receptors. Binding of a hormone to its receptor leads to the formation of a hormone receptor COMPLEX.
Each receptor is specific to one hormone only and hence receptors are specific.
Hormone receptor complex formation leads to certain biochemical changes in the target tissue.
Target tissue metabolism and hence physiological functions are regulated by hormones.
On the basis of their chemical nature, hormones can be divided into :
(i) Peptide, polypeptide, protein hormones (e.g., insulin, glucagon, pituitary hormones, hypothalamic hormones, etc.)
(ii) Steroids (e.g., cortisol, testosterone, estradiol and progesterone)
(iii) IODOTHYRONINES (thyroid hormones)
(iv) Amino - acid derivatives (e.g., epinephrine).
Hormones which interact with membrane - bound receptors normally do not enter the target cell, but GENERATE second messengers (e.g., cyclic AMP,`"IP"_(3)"Ca"^("++)` etc.) which in turn regulate cellularmetabolism.
Hormones which interact with intracellular receptors (steroid, iodothyronines, etc.) mostly regulate gene expression or chromosome function by the interaction of hormone - receptor complex with the genome.
Cumulative biochemical actions result in physiological and developmental effects.
