A young infant may be feeding entirely on mother's milk, which is white in colour but the stools, which the infant passes out are quite yellowish. What is this yellow colour due to?
1. Intestinal juice
2. Bile pigments passed through bile juice
3. Undigested milk protein casein
4. Pancreatic juice poured into duodenum
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 trypsinogen 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
