  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    The optimum pH meant for hydrolyzing starch is

    Solution

    About 30 per cent of starch is hydrolysed by the enzyme at optimum pH 6.8 into a disaccharide –maltose.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    Absorption of fats takes place through :

    Solution

    Lymph capillaries pick up the excess interstitial fluid & proteins and return them to the venous blood. 
    The blood capillaries absorb most nutrients, but the Fats & Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed by the lacteals.
    The lymph in the lacteals has a milky appearance due to its high Fat content & is called chyle.

  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    (i) Cannot digest food with lactose in them.

    The bolus is conveyed into the pharynx and then into the oesophagus by swallowing or deglutition.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    Active form of which enzyme hydrolyses milk protein in stomach?

    Solution

    • Chymosin, known also as rennin, is a proteolytic enzyme related to pepsin that synthesized by chief cells in the stomach of some animals.
    • Its role in digestion is to curdle or coagulate milk in the stomach, a process of considerable importance in the very young animal.
    • If milk were not coagulated, it would rapidly flow through the stomach and miss the opportunity for initial digestion of its proteins

  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    All are digestive glands except :

    Solution

    Liver, pancrease and salivary gland are digestive gland that release enzymes for digestion of food but thyroid gland release thyroxin hormone that help in metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    Liver stores extra glycogen but once storage limit is reached then extra carbohydrate will be :

    Solution

    Liver convert glucose into glycogen and store glycogen. Once storage limit is reached then extra carbohydrates will be converted into fats.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    The bile duct and the pancreatic duct open together into the duodenum as

    Solution

    The bile duct and the pancreatic duct open together into the duodenum as the common hepato-pancreatic duct which is guarded by a sphincter called the sphincter of Oddi.

  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    Digestion can be defined as :

    Solution

    The process of conversion of complex food substances to simple absorbable forms is called digestion.

  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    Correct sequence of layers in gut wall from inside to outside is :

    Solution

    Serosa is the outermost layer while mucosa is the innermost layer.
    The layer next to mucosa is the sub-mucosa containing nerves, blood and lymph vessels. Muscularisis found between sub-mucosa and serosa.

  • Question 11
    1 / -0

    Which of the following is not a common disorder associated with digestive system?

    Solution

  • Question 12
    1 / -0

    Trans-fats:
    (i) They are found in most processed and fast foods. Example: French fries.
    (ii) They help food stay fresh for a long time.
    (iii) They are much better type of fat than saturated fats.

    Solution

    Trans-fats are made when food makers turn liquid oils into solid fats, like shortening or margarine.
    (i) Trans-fats can be found in many fried, "fast", packaged, or processed food.
    (ii) Partial hydrogenation of vegetable oils is done to make fats more solid at room temperature, to increase their shelf life by keeping their flavor stable over longer periods of time, and to guard against spoilage.
    (iii) Trans-fats are worst type of fats.

    Hence, option A is correct.

  • Question 13
    1 / -0

    Read the following statements :
    i. In ruminants cellulose digesting bacteria are present in digestive system.
    ii. Such digestion by microbial activity is called antagonistic digestion.
    iii. Camels and deers are ruminants lacking omasum chamber.

    Solution

    (i) Ruminants have a four-chambered gut, and these microorganisms live primarily in the rumen. One particularly important bacterial genus that takes part in the degradation of cellulose is gram positive Ruminococcus.
    (iii) Some ruminants like camel and deer do not have omasum. The omasum is the third chamber in the ruminant stomach. Function of the omasum is absorption.

    Hence, Staement (i) and (iii) are correct.

  • Question 14
    1 / -0

    In Reema’s body, substances in bile harden forming stone in the gall bladder. What can be the possible treatment?

  • Question 20
    1 / -0

    If an imaginary food contains 5 grams of protein, 4 grams of fat and 10 grams of carbohydrates. Now calculate total calories it would provide (given 1g protein = 4 calories, 1g fat = 10 calories, 1g carbohydrates = 4 calories) :

    Solution

    5 g of protein = 5 x 4 = 20 calories
    4 g of fat = 4 x 10 = 40 calories
    10 g of carbohydrates = 10 x 4 = 40 calories.

    Total energy produced = 20 + 40 + 40 = 100 calories.

    (i) provide nourishment to the cells of alimentary canal.
    (ii) absorb digested fat molecules from stomach and intestine.

    Solution

    (i) Blood vessels of the alimentary canal provide nourishment to the cells of the alimentary canal.
    (ii) Blood vessels of the alimentary canal do not absorb digested fat molecules from the stomach and intestine.

  • Question 23
