    Stomach is the main site for the digestion of -

    [CPMT-81]

    Solutions

    Stomach in vertebrates is the main site for digestion of proteins. Pepsin is the chief proteolytic enzyme of stomach secreted in the inactive form called as pepsinogen. The pepsinogen is activated to pepsin in presence of hydrochloric acid secreted in stomach by oxyntic or parietal cells. The optimum pH for activity of pepsin is 1.8.

  • Question 6/30
    1 / -0

    The hormone involved in the discharge of pancreatic juice in mammal is called-

    Solutions

    Cholecystokinin plays a key role in facilitating digestion within the small intestine. It is secreted from mucosal epithelial cells in the first segment of the small intestine (duodenum), and stimulates delivery into the small intestine of digestive enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the gallbladder.

  • Question 7/30
    1 / -0

    Function of HCl in stomach is to-

    [CPMT-82]

    Solutions

    2)It kills microbes in food

  • Question 8/30
    1 / -0

    Presence of which of these in intestine of rabbit distinguishes it from stomach-

    (CPMT-82)

    Solutions

    Rabbits are herbivorous animals. The digestive system is made up of an  oesophagus, stomach, and intestinal tract like other mammals. However, since their intake consists large quantities of fibre, rabbits are characterised by hind gut fermentation similar to horses. This helps to break down the indigestible materials into their chemical form. The presence of villi in the intestine distinguishes it from the stomach.

    So, the correct answer is option B.

  • Question 9/30
    1 / -0

    Which is sweet in taste but is not sugar-

    [CPMT-83]

    Solutions

    Sweet tasting carbohydrates are called sugars, e.g., glucose and fructose. Starch is a storage polymer of glucose and is tasteless till it is broken down into monomer glucose molecule. Lactose is milk sugar. Proteins are polymers of amino acids which are tasteless except for some like aspartic acid. Saccharine is an artificial sweetener. Saccharin is more sweet than common table sugar or sucrose but has a bitter after taste.

  • Question 10/30
    1 / -0

    Enzyme maltase in human gut acts on food at a pH of -

    [CPMT-83]

    Solutions

    Alkaline intestinal juice (pH 7.8 to 8.0) assists in raising the pH of the intestinal contents to between 6.5 and 7.5. Sucrase, maltase and lactase complete the digestion of carbohydrates by converting disaccharides such as sucrose, maltose and lactose to monosaccharides in the intestine.

  • Question 11/30
    1 / -0

    Simple sugar of blood is-

    [CPMT-83]

    Solutions

    Glucose is a simple monosaccharide sugar. It is a hexose sugar. It is an aldose sugar. Ingested carbohydrates are broken down into monosaccharides which are absorbed in the intestine. Glucose is absorbed in intestine. Glucose is also chief form of sugar in blood and circulates in blood to supply energy to visceral organs.

  • Question 12/30
    1 / -0

    During prolonged starvation, body derives nutrition from storage of -

    [CPMT-84]

    Solutions

    Liver along with muscles stores excess glucose as glycogen, which can be used in times of starvation to maintain blood glucose levels. Excess carbohydrates are also stored as fat in adipose tissue around visceral organs and underneath the skin. During starvation the fat in the adipose tissue can be metabolised to derive energy.

    So, the correct answer is 'Liver and adipose tissue'

  • Question 13/30

    [CPMT-85]

  • Question 14/30
    1 / -0

     Enterokinase stimulates which of the following

    [CPMT-86]

    Solutions

    Enterokinase helps in conversion of trypsinogen into trypsin in small intestine, which is an endoproteolytic enzyme and hydrolyses the peptones and proteoses into peptides.

  • Question 15/30
    1 / -0

    Maximum digestion of food take place in –

    [CPMT-86]

    Solutions

    (D) is correct.because in it pancreas and gallbladder secretions are released and also succus entericus is released here so maximum digestion of food occurs in dudonem.

    [CPMT-88]

  • Question 20/30
    1 / -0

    The three secretions meeting the food in small intestine are-

    [CPMT-89]

    Solutions

    The common bile duct opens into the pancreatic duct and they join together to form the hepato-pancreatic duct that opens onto the duodenum. Hence, duodenum receives bile as well as pancreatic juice and it itself is the part of the intestine. Therefore, in the small intestine the bile, pancreatic juice and intestinal juice meet and act together over their respective substrates.

  • Question 21/30
    1 / -0

    Which one of the following hormone inhibits the secretion of gastric juice-

    [CPMT-89]

    Solutions

    Enterogastrone is transported by the bloodstream to the glands and muscles of the stomach, where it inhibits gastric movements and secretions, possibly by blocking the production or activity of gastrin, the hormone that initially causes these functions.

    1 / -0

    Which one is not an enzyme of digestive system

    [CPMT-90]

    Solutions

    Correct option is D bcoz it is the hormone which secreted by some specialised cells of duodenum.

  • Question 25/30
    1 / -0

    Secretin stimulates the production of

    [CBSE-90, CPMT-90]

    Solutions

    Secretin functions as a type of fireman; it helps in releasing acid from small intestine and stimulates the pancreas and bile ducts to release a flood of bicarbonate base, which neutralizes the acid.

  • Question 26/30
    1 / -0

    The cells in the wall of intestine are stimulated to produce secretin by-

    [CPMT-91]

    Solutions

    Secretin is a hormone of the gastrointestinal tract. It is secreted by the duodenal wall of the small intestine when hydrochloric acid passes from the stomach into the duodenum, secretin is released into the bloodstream. This hormone stimulates pancreas for synthesis and secretion of non enzymatic part of pancreatic juice. It also stimulates liver for secretion of bile juice and inhibit the gastric acid secretion in stomach and reduce rate of contraction of stomach.

  • Question 27/30
    1 / -0

    Pancreatic lipase acts upon-

    [CPMT-91]

    Solutions

    The pancreas secretes lipase enzymes, that act upon dietary fat molecules. Most dietary fat molecules are in the form of triglycerides. The cells lining the small intestine cannot absorb the large triglyceride molecules, so pancreatic lipase breaks the triglyceride into a smaller monoglyceride molecule and two free fatty acids. The cells lining the small intestine, then absorb the monoglycerides and fatty acids to use for energy production.

  • Question 28/30
    1 / -0

    In whose milk percentage of lactose is highest

    [CPMT-92]

    Solutions

    The percentage of lactose in milk varies with species. Human milk has a high lactose content, the percentage of lactose in human milk ranges from 6.5 to 7.5%. Unprocessed cow milk has about 4.7% lactose, unprocessed goat milk has about 4.7% lactose, unprocessed buffalo milk has about 4.86% lactose. The average in cow and goat milk is less than 5% and vary according to the breed. When human babies are reared on cow or goat milk, it is customary to add lactose, sucrose, glucose, or malto-dextrin in their feed.

  • Question 29/30
    1 / -0

    Which of these will leave the stomach first in man [CPMT-92]

    Solutions

    Only some chemicals medicines and alcohol are absorbed in oro pharyngeal cavity. In the stomach, absorption of water, some salts, alcohol and glucose takes place, complete absorption of alcohol takes place in the stomach. Thus, carbohydrates, proteins and fats will remain in alimentary canal for complete digestion and when broken down completely in small intestine then only they will be absorbed in the intestine but beer will not be digested in alimentary canal and directly absorbed in the stomach. 

  • Question 30/30
    1 / -0

    Amount of fat increases in the body due to excess intake of-

    [CPMT-92]

    Solutions

    Carbohydrates are broken down in the body into glucose, an immediate source of energy. Excess glucose gets stored in the liver as glycogen or, with the help of insulin, converted into fatty acids, circulated to other parts of the body and stored as fat in adipose tissue.So, carbohydrates are responsible for the excess fat in the body.
