  1. Trypsin, chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase are brush border enymes

  2. The chemical process of digestion is initiated in the oral cavity. A bout $60\%$ starch is hydrolysed here by salivary amylase to form maltose

  3. Rennin is proteolytic enzyme found in grastic juice of infants. Small amounts of lipases are also secreted by the gastric glands

  4. If breast feeding is replaced by less nutritive food low in proteins and calories, the infants below the age of one year will suffer from kwashiorkar


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Rennin is a proteolytic enzyme present in the gastric secretion of infants that allows digestion of milk products. Small amounts of Gastric Lipase is also secreted by the gastric glands.
So, the correct option is 'Rennin is proteolytic enzyme found in grastic juice of infants. Small amounts of lipases are also secreted by the gastric glands'.

What is the important role of water in the process of digestion :-

  1. Prevent dehydration

  2. Metabolic process

  3. $1st$ and $2nd $ both

  4. Provides energy


Correct Option: A

Which of the following helps in the digestion of food?

  1. Hormones

  2. Digestive juice

  3. Water

  4. Blood


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  • The process of digestion begins from the mouth itself and gets completed in small intestine.
  • Stomach plays a key role in the digestion of food. It has gastric glands which secrete gastric juices needed to break down food to simple nutrients and thereby contributing to digestion.
  • There are different hormones in our body that has different functions. For example, there could be pH changes associated with different types of food. This pH change stimulates the secretion of a hormone called gastrin which induces the production of digestive juices. But it is not directly connected to the digestion process.
  • Water is present in cell, organs and tissues to help regulating temperature and maintaining body functions.
  • Absorbed food enters the blood stream and is taken to different parts of the body.
So, the correct option is B.

Who revealed secrets of digestion?

  1. Mendel

  2. Beaumont

  3. Newton

  4. S. Bose


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • William Beaumont revealed the functioning of human stomach in a living person. In 1833, He published his findings in the book, 'The Experiments and Observation of the Gastric juice and Physiology of Digestion'. After 10 years from there, he listed many conclusions about the chemical nature of digestion.
  • He primarily discovered that gastric juice is responsible for the breakdown of food into simple nutrients and he also described the movement of stomach during digestion. 
  • So, the correct option is B.

Digestion is completed in

  1. Duodenum

  2. Ileum

  3. Stomach

  4. Cloaca


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Digestion is completed in the Ileum because it is the last part of small intestine where all the digestive secretions end. From the large intestine, the process of absorption occurs predominantly.

So, the correct option is B.

Enterokinase / enteropeptidase takes part in conversion of

  1. Pepsinogen to pepsin

  2. Trypsinogen to trypsin

  3. Protein into polypeptides

  4. Caseinogen into casein


Correct Option: B

Epithelial cells involved in absorption of digested food have on their free surface

  1. Zymogen granules

  2. Pinocytic vesicles

  3. Phagocytic vesicles

  4. Microvilli


Correct Option: D

Cattle are able to digest cellulose which humans cannot because cattle have

  1. Cellulose digesting bacteria

  2. More efficient digestive system

  3. Large stomach

  4. Long intestine


Correct Option: A

Find out the correct sequence of substrate, enzyme and product

  1. $Small intestine : Proteins \xrightarrow{pepsin} Amino acids$

  2. $Stomach : Fats \xrightarrow{Lipase}micelles$

  3. $Duodenum : Triglycerides \xrightarrow{trypsin} Monoglycerides$

  4. $Small intestine : Starch \xrightarrow{a-amylase}Maltose$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The saliva contains an enzyme called salivary amylase which hydrolyses starch into maltose. The complete digestion of starch occurs only in the small intestine by the action of pancreatic amylase. The activity of enzymes is strongly affected by several factors, such as temperature and pH.


So, the correct option is 'Option D'.

If for some reason the parietal cells of the gut epithelium become partially nonfunctional, what is likely to happen

  1. Pancreatic enzymes, specially trypsin and lipase will not work efficiently

  2. Proteins will not be adequately hydrolysed by pepsin to proteoses and peptones

  3. pH of stomach will fall abruptly

  4. Steapsin will not be effective


Correct Option: B

Cellulose in our food passes out undigested.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cellulose falls into the category of indigestible carbohydrates known as dietary fibre. Humans don't have an enzyme to digest cellulose. 

Hence, the correct answer is 'true'

Digestion of food occurs as a result of

  1. hydrolysis

  2. oxidation

  3. polymerization

  4. reduction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  • The digestion process depends upon hydrolysis to provide the biochemical reactions that break down food.
  •  The digestive tract secretes enzymes, such as proteases, carbohydrases, nucleases and lipases that, along with water, catalyze the hydrolysis that releases various nutrients. Hence, the Digestion of food occurs as a result of hydrolysis.
So, the correct answer is 'hydrolysis'.

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Most chemical digestion occurs in the

  1. stomach

  2. liver

  3. duodenum

  4. large intestine


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Enteropeptidase is an enzyme produced by the cells of the duodenum and is involved in the digestion in humans and other animals. Enteropeptidase converts trypsinogen (a zymogen) into its active form trypsin, resulting in the subsequent activation of pancreatic digestive enzymes

So, the correct answer is 'duodenum'

Most digestive systems have regions for.......... food

  1. transporting

  2. processing

  3. storing

  4. all of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The digestive system plays an important role in the absorption of nutrients into the body. It takes the food we ingest, breaks it down mechanically and chemically in the mouth and stomach. It then absorbs nutrients, fats, proteins, and water in the intestines before eliminating the waste through the rectum

So, the correct answer is 'all of these'

Which of the following is not produced in the stomach?

  1. Sodium hydrogencarbonate

  2. Gastrin

  3. Hydrochloric acid

  4. Pepsinogen


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  1. The stomach produces gastrin, hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen.
  2. G-cells in the stomach releases gastrin in response to distension of the antrum. This, in turn, causes an increase in the secretion of HCl from the parietal cells or oxyntic cells, which kills or inhibits bacteria and provides the acidic pH for the proteases to work and pepsinogen is released from chief cells in the stomach called zymogenic cells or peptic cells. 
  3. Pepsinogen, inactive form of the enzyme in presence of hydrochloric acid activates into the active form, pepsin. Pepsin breaks down proteins into polypeptides. Hence, sodium hydrogen carbonate is not produced in the stomach.
So, the correct answer is 'sodium hydrogen carbonate'.
