Functioning as an exocrine gland, the pancreas excretes enzymes to break down the proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids in food. Functioning as an endocrine gland, the pancreas secretes the hormones insulin and glucagon to control blood sugar levels throughout the day.

Food crops are any agricultural product that can be eaten. Examples of food crops include food grains (Wheat, Rice, Maize) pulses, soybeans, sunflowers, sorghum, and edible oils (mustard, sunflower, etc). On the contrary, the term non food crop applies to the use of agricultural crops for uses other than human (as food) or animal consumption (as feed).

Correct Option: C

In botany, heliophytes refer to plants that thrive in bright sunlight; while those growing best in shade are known as sciophytes. Heliophytes are capable of a more efficient use of high light intensities than sciophytes. Examples of heliophytes are sugar cane, sunflower and maize.

When a single gene has an effect on the expression of two or more phenotypic traits, it is said to have a pleiotropic effect on the traits. For example, testosterone controls the development of what are referred to as secondary sexual characteristics, but it also relates to behavioral traits like aggression. Thus, a gene that controls the levels of testosterone would have a pleiotropic effect on the expression of many secondary sexual traits which are morphological, as well as behavioral.

An endoscope can consist of a rigid or flexible tube and a light delivery system to illuminate the organ or object under inspection. The light source is normally outside the body and the light is typically directed via an optical fiber system. A lens system transmits the image from the objective lens to the viewer, typically a relay lens system in the case of rigid endoscopes or a bundle of fiber optics in the case of a fiberscope.
