Priya tried to match the hormones with their effect on the human body. She tabulated the pairs as follows:
| Hormone | Effect on the body |
|---|---|
| P | Stimulates conversion of Glycogen to Glucose |
| Q | Reabsorption of water by the Nephrons. |
Identify the correct pair of hormones.
- (a)P- Insulin, Q- Glucagon
- (b)P- Adrenaline, Q- Oxytocin
- (c)P- Glucagon, Q- Vasopressin
- (d)P- Vasopressin, Q- Adrenaline

P- Glucagon, Q- Vasopressin
Reason — Glucagon is a hormone produced by the pancreas that stimulates the conversion of glycogen (stored form of glucose in the liver) to glucose. Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), is produced by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It acts on the kidney increasing reabsorption of water by the nephrons.
