38. Hormones are chemical informational molecules that are
required in minute amounts and are directly poured into the
blood stream. The animal hormones are secreted in the desired
amounts by the endocrine glands. Each hormone is responsible
for carrying out specific actions in the body. The deficiency or
excess of hormones has a harmful effect on our body. Hence,
the timing and the amount of hormones secreted by glands are
controlled by the feedback mechanism.
(a) Name the hormones secreted by ovary and testes. 1
(b) Write the function of adrenaline. 1
(c) Write the name and function of a hormone secreted by
(i) Pituitary gland and (ii) Thyroid gland. 2

OR

(c) What is the meaning of feedback mechanism ? 2

39. A simple magnifier or microscope is a convex lens of small focal

length. In order to use such a lens as a microscope, the lens is
held near the object to get an erect, magnified and virtual
image of the object. However, this microscope has a maximum
limiting magnification. For much larger magnification we use
a compound microscope in which two convex lenses are used,
one compounding the effect of the other. The lens nearest the
object, called the objective, forms a real, inverted and
magnified image of the object. This image serves as the object
for the second lens, the eyepiece which functions essentially
like a simple microscope or magnifier and produces the final
image.
(a) You have a compound microscope in which a convex lens
of focal length f is used as objective. What should be the
distance of the object from the objective in terms of f ? 1
