Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Use the ratio and proportion method to convert from household system to metric system. 5 mL/1 tsp = X mL/2 tsp. Cross-multiplying yields 10 mL = 2 tsp.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Two of the anterior pituitary hormones (i.e., growth hormone and prolactin) do not have a target organ to produce hormones and so cannot be regulated by the same type of feedback mechanism. Estrogen and progesterone have the uterus, ovaries, and breast, as their target organs. The target organs for erythropoietin is the bone marrow, for renin it is the arteries, and insulin and glucagon come from the pancreas to stimulate cells to metabolize glucose and regulate serum glucose levels
