Low level of noradrenaline is the cause of depression. What types of drugs are needed to cure this problem ? Name two drugs.

Answer»

Solution :When the level of NEUROTRANSMITTER, noradrenaline becomes low, antidepressant drugs are required. These drugs inhibit the ENZYMES which catalyse the degradation of noradrenaline. If the enzyme is INHIBITED, noradrenaline is SLOWLY metabolised and hence activates its receptor for longer periods of time thereby reducing depression. Two IMPORTANT drugs are iproniazid and phenelzine (nardil).
4.

Low level of noradrenaline is the cause of depression. What type of drugs are needed to cure this problem ? Nume two drugs.

Answer»

Solution : In event of LOW level of NEUROTRANSMITTER, NORADRENALINE, antidepressant drugs are required. These drugs inhibit the enzymes which CATALYSE the degradation of noradrenaline. If the enzyme is INHIBITED. noradrenaline is slowly metabolized and hence activates its receptor for longer periods of time thereby reducing depression. Two important drugs are iproniazid and phenelzine (nardil).
5.

Low level of noradrenaline is the cause of depression. What type of drugs are neededto cure this problem ? Name two drugs.

Answer»

SOLUTION : In EVENT of low level of neurotransmitter, noradrenaline, ANTIDEPRESSANT drugs are required. These drugs inhibit the enzymes which catalyse the degradation of noradrenaline. If the ENZYME is inhibited. noradrenaline is slowly metabolized and hence activates its receptor for longer periods of time thereby reducing depression. Two important drugs are iproniazid and phenelzine (nardil).
6.

Low level of noradrenaline is the cause of depression. What type of drugs are needed to cure this problem ? Name two drugs.

SOLUTION :Antidepressent DRUGS - IPRONIAZID, PHENELZINE (NARDIL).
7.

Low level of noradrenaline is the cause of depression. What type of drugs are needed to cure this problem.Name two drugs.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Noradrenaline INDUCES a feeling of well being and helps in changing the mood. If the level of noradrenaline is low, then the signal sending activity of the hormone become low and the person suffers from depression. In such cases, the PATIENT NEEDS anti-depression drugs which INHIBIT the enzymes which catalyse the degradation of noradrenaline. The common drugs used as anti-depression are iproniazid and phenelzine.

Log P vs log V curve is plottedfor anideal gas, which is true for the gas ?

Answer»

MONOATOMIC & undergoing adiabitc chagre
MONATOMIC& undergoing an isothermal change
Diamtomic & undergoing an adiabitccharge
Triatomic & undergoingan isothermal change

Solution :Equation of PROCESSE
`(log P-2.38)/(log V-1.10)=(2.10-2.38)/(1.30- 1.10)=(-0.28)/(0.20)=(-7)/(5)`
`rArr(log P-2.38)xx5= -7 (log V-1.1)`
`rArr5 log P + 7 log V=19.60`
`rArrlog P^(5) + logV^(7) = 19.60 `
`P_(5)V_(7)` = antilog (19.60) = constant
or `PV^(1.4)` = constant
`therefore gamma = 1.4 - "diatomic&adiabatic"`

Answer :A
49.

Lithium only forms monoxide when heated in oxygen. Sodium forms monoxide and peroxide in excess of oxygen. Other alkali metals form superoxide metals superoxide with oxygen i.e., MO_(2). The abnormal behaviour of lithium is due to small size. The larger size of higher metals also decides the role in formation of superoxide. All the three anions abstract proton from water. The three anions are raleted to each other as follows: underset("oxide ion")(O_(2)^(2-)overset((1)/(2)O_(2))(to)underset("peroxide ion")(O_(2)^(2-))overset(O_(2))(to)underset("superoxide ion")(2O_(2)^(-)) Q. Which anion is stable towards water:

Answer»

`O^(2-)`
`O_(2)^(2-)`
`O_(2)^(-)`
NONE of these

Solution :All the three `O^(2-), O_(2)^(2-) and O_(2)^(-)` are unstable in presence of WATER and abstract PROTON from water.
