1. Pranjal gets angry in every new situation. Which chemical is responsible for causing this emotion within her? Name the organ that releases the chemical.

Answer. When Pranjal gets angry, it’s mainly due to a hormone called adrenaline.
This hormone is released by the adrenal glands, which sit right above the kidneys. Adrenaline kicks in during stressful or new situations, making her feel tense or ready to react — that’s the “anger” or “fight” response.

2. Yash, a 13-year old boy, is very embarrassed with the pimples that are erupting on his face. Why do you think this is happening? What is it that is responsible for this change?

Answer. What Yash is going through is totally normal at his age. During puberty, the body starts producing more hormones, especially androgens. These hormones make the skin’s oil glands more active, which can clog pores and lead to pimples. So, it’s those natural hormonal changes of growing up that are causing the breakouts.
