Which of the options given below would not correctly fill the blanks in the following sentence?


In order to absorb and use ____ by the body, these must be broken down by hydrolysis into ___.

  1. Polysaccharides, Monosaccharides

  2. Amino acids, Proteins

  3. Fats, Glycerol and Fatty acids

  4. Disaccharldes, Monosaccharides


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • Proteins are converted into dipeptides in the stomach which is followed by the conversion of dipeptides to amino acids in the small intestine. These amino acids are absorbed through the wall of the intestine as simple absorbable substances.
  • Hence In order to absorb and use Proteins by the body, these must be broken down by hydrolysis into proteins.
  • So, the correct answer is 'amino acids, proteins'.

Which one of the following enzyme is absent in invertebrates?

  1. Pepsin

  2. Trypsin

  3. Lipase

  4. Amyalase


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Protein in invertebrates is a breakdown by four different enzymes known as a proteinase, carboxypolypeptidase, aminopolypeptidase, and dipeptidase, which can be separated by adsorption but vertebrates have one extra enzyme trypsin is also found that helps in activation of the given four and digestion of protein.

So the correct option is 'Trypsin'.

What is common among amylase, rennin and trypsin?

  1. These are produced in stomach

  2. These act at a pH lower than $7$

  3. These all are proteins

  4. These all are proteolytic enzymes


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Amylase, rennin and trypsin are protein enzymes.

Amylase is enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of carbohydrates. Amylase is produced by the pancreas and salivary glands.
Rennin is an enzyme especially produced by stomach for digestion of milk proteins in infants. 
Trypsin is a proteolytic enzyme produced in the small intestine. 
So, the correct option is 'These all are proteins'.

  1. Kidney

  2. Spleen

  3. Intestine

  4. Bone-marrow


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Pancreatic juice contains pancreatic amylase, lipase and trypsin, trypsin converts polypeptides into the dipeptides in the first part of small intestine i.e., duodenum. The succus entricus in the third part of small intestine i.e., ileum converts dipeptides into the amino acids which are absorbed by the wall of the intestine. Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Proteins are broken down into amino acids completely in

  1. Buccal cavity

  2. Stomach

  3. Intestine

  4. Rectum


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • Once a protein source reaches your stomach, hydrochloric acid, and enzymes called proteases to break it down into smaller chains of amino acids. 
  • Amino acids are joined together by peptides, which are broken by proteases.
  • Digestion of protein is completed in the small intestine by the pancreatic enzymes trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase. Hence, Proteins are broken down into amino acids completely in Intestine. 
So, the correct answer is 'Intestine'.

The three secretions meeting the food in small intestine are

  1. Bile juice, pancreatic juice and intestinal juice

  2. Pancreatic, intestinal and gastric juice

  3. Bile, pancreatic and gastric juice

  4. Bile, gastric juice and saliva


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Various types of movements are generated by the muscularis layer of the small intestine. These movements help in a thorough mixing up of the food with various secretions in the intestine and thereby facilitate digestion. The bile, pancreatic juice and the intestinal juice are the secretions released into the small intestine. Pancreatic juice and bile are released through the hepato-pancreatic duct. The intestinal mucosal epithelium has goblet cells, which secrete mucus. The secretions of the brush border cells of the mucosa along with the secretions of the goblet cells constitute the intestinal juice or succus entericus.

Digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats completes in

  1. Stomach

  2. Liver

  3. Small intestine

  4. Large intestine


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Small intestine has three parts - duodenum, jejunum and ileum. When food leaves the stomach through its pyloric end and enters the duodenum it is called chyme (acidic). The digestion of macro molecules ingested is completed in small intestine. The digested products are absorbed in the small intestine and comes to the blood.

Maximum digestion of food takes place in

  1. Stomach

  2. Jejunum

  3. Colon

  4. Duodenum


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • Small intestine has three parts - duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. 
  • The maximum digestion of food takes place in the duodenum. While the digestion of food is completed in jejunum.
  •  The maximum absorption of food takes place in ileum.

End products of protein hydrolysis are

  1. Mixture of amino acids

  2. Sugars

  3. Peptides

  4. 25 amino acids


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Proteins are biopolymers made up of  by joining together of amino acids with the help of peptide bonds. When proteins are acted upon by digestive proteolytic enzymes in the gut the peptide bonds are hydrolyzed and a mixture of amino acids is obtained.

Which one of the following pairs of the cells with their secretion is correctly matched?

  1. Oxyntic cells- A secretion with pH between 2.0 and 3.0

  2. Alpha cells of Islets of Langerhans- Secretion that decreases blood sugar level

  3. Kupffer cells- A digestive enzyme that hydrolysis nucleic acids

  4. Sebaceous glands- A digestive enzyme that hydrolysis nucleic acids


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Oxyntic cells or parietal cells, are the stomach epithelium cells that secrete gastric acid intrinsic factor. These cells secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl), which makes the gastric juice acidic (pH =2 -3). 

Oxyntic cells  are the epithelial cells that secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor. These cells are located in the gastric glands found in the lining of the fundus and in the body of the stomach.
Alpha cells of islets of Langerhans secretes glucagon hormone, which increase the glucose level in the blood by converting glycogen to glucose in liver cells. 

Kupffer cells are specialized cells in the liver that destroy bacteria, foreign proteins and worn-out blood cells. 
Sebaceous glands and microscopic glands in the skin that secrete an oily/waxy matter (called as sebum) to lubricate the skin and hair of mammals.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

  2. steroids

  3. amino acids

  4. fatty acids


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

  1. Amino acids and proteins are the building blocks of life. Amino acids are organic compounds that combine to form proteins.
  2.  When proteins are digested or broken down, amino acids are left. Zymogenic cell or peptic cell in the stomach that releases pepsinogen and chymosin. 
  3. This inactive pepsinogen, on exposure to hydrochloric acid, gets converted to the active enzyme pepsin.
  4.  Pepsin is produced in the stomach and is one of the main digestive enzymes, which helps in digestion of the proteins to polypeptide chains. The end product of protein is it must be broken down into amino acids. Hence, the end product of protein digestion is amino acids.
So, the correct answer is 'amino acids'.

A pancreatic zymogen secreted into the duodenum, can be activated by:-

  1. trypsin

  2. pepsin

  3. secretin

  4. chymotrypsin


Correct Option: A
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 'trypsin'

If for some reason the parietal cells of the gut epithelium become partially non-functional, what is likely to happen? 

  1. The pancreatic enzymes and specially the trypsin and lipase will not work efficiently.

  2. The pH of stomach will fall abruptly.

  3. Steapsin will be more effective.

  4. Proteins will not be adequately hydrolysed by pepsin into proteoses and peptones.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Parietal cells secrete HCl and intrinsic factor. Parietal glands also secrete pepsinogen to which hydrochloric acid acts to convert it into pepsin. Pepsin in return causes digestion of protein. If parietal cells become non-functional, it will directly affect protein digestion. So, the correct answer is (d).
