Answer: (C) Statement I is correct but Statement II is false. Answer: (c) Statement I is correct but Statement II is false Solution: Statement I is correct: PTH acts on bones and stimulates the process of bone resorption (dissolution/demineralisation).
- A.Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- B.Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- C.Statement I is correct but Statement II is false✓
- D.Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true
Correct Answer
(C) Statement I is correct but Statement II is false
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (c) Statement I is correct but Statement II is false Solution: Statement I is correct: PTH acts on bones and stimulates the process of bone resorption (dissolution/demineralisation). Statement II is false: PTH together with TCT plays a significant role in calcium balance, not carbohydrate metabolism. Hence only Statement I is correct. NCERT Reference: Chapter 19, Page 243, Line(s) 26-32 — "PTH acts on bones and stimulates the process of bone resorption (dissolution/demineralisation)... Along with TCT, it plays a significant role in calcium balance in the body."
