Which of the following enzymes carries out the initial step in the digestion of milk in humans?
1. Rennin
2. Lipase
3. Trypsin
4. Pepsin
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

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
