Which one of the following statement is true regarding digestion and absorption of food in humans?

1. Oxyntic cells in our stomach secrete the proenzyme pepsinogen
2. Fructose and amino acids are absorbed through intestinal mucosa with the help of carrier ions like Na+.
3. Chylomicrons are small lipoprotein particles that are transported from intestine into blood capillaries.
4. About 60% of starch is hydrolysed by salivary amylase in our mouth.

What will happen if HCl 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
