Gastric juice of infants contains?
1. maltase, pepsinogen, rennin
2. nuclease, pepsinogen, lipase
3. pepsinogen, lipase, rennin
4. amylase, rennin, pepsinogen
Which one of the following statement is false regarding digestion and absorption of food in humans?
1. Oxyntic cells in our stomach secrete the proenzyme pepsinogen.
2. Glucose and amino acids are absorbed with the help of carrier ions like Na+.
3. Chylomicrons are small lipoprotein particles that are transported from intestine into blood capillaries.
4. About 30% of starch is hydrolysed by salivary amylase in our mouth.
What will happen if the secretion of parietal cells of gastric glands is blocked with an
inhibitor?
1. Gastric juice will be deficient in chymosin
2. Gastric juice will be deficient in pepsinogen
3. In the absence of HCl secretion, inactive pepsinogen is not converted into the active
enzyme pepsin
4. Enterokinase will not be released from the duodenal mucosa and so trypsinogcn is not
converted to trypsin
Which one of the following is the correct matching of the site of action on the given
substrate, the enzyme acting upon it and the end product?
1. Duodenum :Triglycerides→Trypsin→Monoglycerides
2. Small intestine :Starch→α-amylase→Disaccharide (maltose)
3. Small intestine :Proteins→Pepsin→Amino Acids
4. Stomach :Fats→ Lipase→Micelles
The following is a scheme showing the fate of carbohydrates during digestion in the
human alimentary canal. Identify the enzymes acting at stages indicated as A, B, C
and D. Choose the correct option from those given.
1. A = Amylase, B = Maltase, C = Lactase,D = Invertase
2. A = Amylase, B = Maltase, C = Invertase,D = Lactase
3. A = Amylase, B = Invertase, C = Maltase, D = Lactase
4. A = Amylase, B = Lactase, C = Maltase, D = Invertase
During digestion, before the action of lipase, fat is emulsified by:-
1. ergosterols
2. phospholipids
3. lipoproteins
4. digitonin

2. Gastric juice
3. Saliva
4. Pancreatic juice
In adults, curdling of the milk in small intestine occurs due to the action of
1. rennin
2. erypsine
3. trypsin
4. chymotrypsin
Excessive stimulation of vagus nerve in humans may lead to:
1. hoarse voice
2. peptic ulcers
3. efficient digestion of proteins
4. irregular contractions of diaphragm.
