    Question

    Iodine is essential for the synthesis of _______.

    A.

    Cytokinin

    B.

    Thyroxine

    C.

    Insulin

    D.

    Oestrogen

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) Thyroxine.
    · Iodine is a crucial element required for the synthesis of thyroxine, a hormone produced by the thyroid gland.
    · Thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) are thyroid hormones that regulate various metabolic processes in the body.
    · Adequate iodine intake is essential to prevent thyroid disorders such as goiter and hypothyroidism.
    Information Booster:
    · Cytokinin: A class of plant hormones that promote cell division and growth, not related to iodine.
    · Insulin: A hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood glucose levels, does not require iodine for its synthesis.
    · Oestrogen: A group of sex hormones primarily responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system, does not require iodine for its synthesis.
