The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

To analyze the reaction sequence, we need to look at the transformations taking place in each step.

First Reaction (A): The reaction of benzene C6H6 with concentrated nitric acid HNO3 and sulfuric acid H2SO4 leads to the nitration of benzene. The product formed is nitrobenzene:

A = C6H5NO2 (Nitrobenzene).

Second Reaction (B): The nitrobenzene then undergoes reduction with tin Sn in hydrochloric acid HCl, which reduces the nitro group to an amino group. The product formed is aniline:

B = C6H5NH2 (Aniline).

Thus, the correct identification of products A and B leads to: A = C6H5NO2, B = C6H5NH2.

Chemical Coordination and Integration

The chemical coordination and integration of all physiological functions in the animal body are jointly synchronized by the neural and endocrine systems. The control and coordination of body functions are executed by the endocrine glands. They are ductless glands that secrete severel hormones to control and coordinate body functions.

Human Endocrine System:

The human body has several endocrine glands located in different parts. They cover the pituitary gland, thymus, thyroid gland, pineal gland, parathyroid, pancreas (dual gland), adrenal gland, and gonads (testes and ovaries). The liver, kidney, heart, and gastrointestinal tract also produce hormones in small traces to harmonize the functioning of these organs.

The Hypothalamus comprises groups of secretory cells called nuclei which secrets various hormones. These hormones released by the hypothalamus are important in regulating the synthesis and secretion of pituitary hormones.

Functions of Endocrine Glands:

  • Pituitary Gland
  • Pineal Gland
  • Thyroid Gland
  • Parathyroid Gland
  • Thymus
  • Adrenal Gland
  • Pancreas
  • Testes
  • Ovary
  • Hormones of Kidney, Heart, and Gastrointestinal Tract
