Question #2
The placenta secretes several hormones essential for maintaining pregnancy. Which of the following is NOT primarily secreted by the placenta?
A. Human Placental Lactogen (hPL)
B. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)
C. Progesterone
D. Prolactin

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The placenta acts as a temporary endocrine gland, secreting hCG (which maintains the corpus luteum), hPL (which alters maternal metabolism for fetal growth), and high levels of estrogen and progesterone (which maintain the uterine lining and suppress further ovulation). Prolactin, however, is primarily secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, although its levels rise significantly during pregnancy to prepare the mammary glands for lactation.

The process by which plants produce food using light energy is called:
A. Chemosynthesis
B. Fermentation
C. Cellular respiration
D. Photosynthesis

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy (glucose) using CO₂ and H₂O, releasing O₂. It occurs in chloroplasts. Respiration breaks down glucose, fermentation is anaerobic, chemosynthesis uses chemical energy.
