(a) Larynx; glucagon; testosterone; prolactin
(b) Adrenaline; penicillin; insulin; thyroxine
(c) Stomach; ileum; liver; adrenaline
(d) TSH; GH; ADH; insulin
(e) Iodine; cretinism; goitre; myxoedema
Answer
(a) Larynx is the odd one here because glucagon; testosterone and prolactin are hormones whereas Larynx is the sound box.
(b) Penicillin is the odd one here because adrenaline; insulin; thyroxine are hormones whereas Penicillin is an antibiotic.
(c) Adrenaline is the odd one here because stomach, ileum and liver are the organs of the digestive system whereas Adrenaline is a hormone.
(d) Insulin is the odd one here because TSH, GH, ADH are the hormones secreted by the pituitary gland whereas Insulin is secreted by the pancreas.
(e) Iodine is the odd one here because cretinism, goitre, myxoedema are the conditions which occur due to undersecretion of thyroxine (Hypothyroidism) whereas Iodine is required for the synthesis of thyroxine hormone.
