Question

If a rat was given an injection of sodium iodide with radioactive iodine, then in which one of the following most of the iodine would be incorporated?
  1. Cartilage
  2. Thyroid
  3. Lymph nodes
  4. Parathyroid

A
Cartilage
B
Lymph nodes
C
Parathyroid
D
Thyroid
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The correct option is B Thyroid
Thyroxine and triiodothyronine are thyroid hormones which target all tissues and stimulate metabolic rate, growth and development. Thyroxine has four iodine atoms while triiodothyronine has three iodine atoms. The dietary iodine serves as source and thus, the injected radioactive iodine would be incorporated into thyroid gland. This makes option B correct. Parathyroid hormone is a peptide hormone and does not contain any iodine atom which makes option D incorrect. Iodine accumulating tumours are spread to lymph node in second stage of thyroid cancer only. This makes option C incorrect. Option A is incorrect as iodine protects chondrocytes in growth plate cartilage but is not required in as high amount as by thyroid gland. Correct answer is B.

For estimating ozone in the air, a certain volume of air is passed through an acidified potassium iodide solution. Oxygen is evolved and iodide is then oxidized to give iodine. When such a solution is acidified, free iodine is evolved which can be titrated with standard sodium thio-sulphate solution. In an experiment 10 litre of air at 1 atm and 27oC were passed through an alkaline KI solution, at the end, the iodine entrapped in the solution on titration as above required 1.5 litre of 0.01 N Na2S2O3 solution. Calculate volume percent of 0.3 in sample.
