Question 8 NECO_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2025 • BIOLOGY • objective

In a hormonal feedback system the secretion rate \(S\) (units h\(^{-1}\)) follows \(S = \frac{S_{\max}}{1+(C/K)^{n}}\) where \(C\) is the hormone concentration (µg dL\(^{-1}\)), \(S_{\max}=100\), \(K=5\) and \(n=2\). Clearance is proportional to concentration: clearance \(= kC\) with \(k=10\). A drug reduces \(S_{\max}\) by 20 % and increases \(k\) by 15 %. Determine the new steady‑state concentration \(C\) (µg dL\(^{-1}\)).

Answer Options

B. 2.64 µg/dL
C. 5.12 µg/dL
D. 3.87 µg/dL
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
4.13 µg/dL
