Answer
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.
