Question 11. The diagram of large intestine of man is given below. Identify the parts labelled A, B, C, D, E and F.
The Diagram Of Large Intestine Of Man Is Given Below. Identi...
  1.    (a) A = Caecum, B = Vermiform appendix, C = Sigmoid, D = Ascending colon, E = Transverse colon, F = Descending colon.
  2.    A = Sigmoid, B = Vermiform appendix, C = Ascending colon, D = Transverse colon, E = Descending colon, F = Caecum.
  3.    (c) A = Sigmoid, B = Vermiform appendix, C = Descending colon, D = Transverse colon, E = Ascending colon, F = Caecum.
  4.    (d) A = Caecum, B = Vermiform appendix, C = Ascending colon, D = Transverse colon, E = Descending colon, F = Sigmoid.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> (d) A = Caecum, B = Vermiform appendix, C = Ascending colon, D = Transverse colon, E = Descending colon, F = Sigmoid.
:
D
First part of the large intestine is the Caecum, attached to which is the Appendix. This leads to the ascending colon, followed by the transverse colon an the descending colon. The last part of the large intestine is the sigmoid.
Question 12. The function(s) of the digestive system is (are)
  1.    To digest food to small nutrients molecules that can pass through membranes
  2.    To absorb nutrient molecules
  3.    To eliminate indigestible remains
  4.    All of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of the above
:
D
The functions of the digestive system are to ingest food, to digest food to small nutrients molecules that can pass through membranes, to absorb nutrient molecules, and to eliminate indigestible remains.
Question 13. Regarding Assertion (A) and Reason (R), select the right option
(A) Bile has no enzymes.
(R) Bile does not have any role in digestion.
  1.    If both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  2.    If both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
  3.    If (A) is true, but (R) is false
  4.    If (A) and (R) are false
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> If (A) is true, but (R) is false
:
C
Bile has no enzymes but bile has bile salts that help in digestion by emulsification of fats.
Question 14. The intestinal juice, succus entericus is secreted by
  1.    Brunners gland
  2.    Kupffer cells
  3.    Crypts of Leiberkuhn
  4.    Goblet cells
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Crypts of Leiberkuhn
:
C
These enzymes include peptidase, sucrase, maltase, lactase and intestinal lipase.
Question 15. Which of the following is an organic molecule needed by the body in small amounts?
  1.    Protein
  2.    Lipids
  3.    Vitamin C
  4.    Monosaccharide
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Vitamin C
:
C
Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin needed to be taken into the body in small amounts. Vitamin C is therefore categorised as a micronutrient. All the others mentioned here, i.e., proteins, lipids and monosaccharides are macronutrients. They are required by the body in large quantities for supply of energy and as building blocks in the body. Monosaccharides like glucose molecules are the primary source for energy in the body.
Question 16. Glucose and amino acids are absorbed in intestine by
  1.    Osmosis
  2.    Passive transport
  3.    Active transport
  4.    Selective absorption
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Active transport
:
C
Active transport occurs against the concentration gradient and hence requires energy. Various nutrients like amino acids, monosacharides like glucose,electrolytes like Na+ are absorbed into the blood by this mechanism.
Question 17. Lactose is hydrolysed into
  1.    Fructose only
  2.    glucose only
  3.    glucose+fructose
  4.    glucose +galactose
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> glucose +galactose
:
D
Lactose is hydrolysed to glucose and galactose ,in presence of lactase enzyme.
Question 18. If for some reason our goblet cells are non-functional, this will adversely affect
  1.    Production of somatostatin 
  2.    Secretion of sebum from the sebaceous glands
  3.    Maturation of sperms 
  4.    Smooth movement of food downwards the intestine
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Smooth movement of food downwards the intestine
:
D
Goblet cells are present in the columnar epithelium of the mammalian intestine and secrete mucin, a mucoprotein that forms mucus when in solution. If Goblet cells become non functional, this will adversely affect smooth movement of food downwards the intestine due to absence of mucin.
Question 19. Match the following types of digestion with their related terms and examples
Column IColumn IIi.Intracellular digestiona. Humansii. Extracellular digestionb. Masticationiii. Mechanical digestionc. Enzymatic actioniv. Biochemicaldigestiond. Amoeba
  1.    i).⇒ a ., ii).⇒ c., iii). ⇒ d., iv). ⇒ b
  2.    i). ⇒ d., ii). ⇒ a., iii). ⇒ b., iv). ⇒ c
  3.    i).⇒c., ii).⇒d., iii).⇒a., iv).⇒b
  4.    i).⇒ a., ii).⇒d., iii).⇒b., iv).⇒ c
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> i). ⇒ d., ii). ⇒ a., iii). ⇒ b., iv). ⇒ c
:
B
The correct matching pairs are :
Intracellular digestion takes place in amoeba. Amoeba is an unicellular organism and it ingests food through phagocytosis, and stores it inside the body in a vacuole. The digestion takes place inside the vacuole, within the body of the organism and therefore it showsintracellular digestion.
Digestion in humans occur inside the alimentary canal that is a hollow digestive tract that enables ingestion, digestion and absorption of food. It does not occur inside cells and therefore is extracellular digestion.
Breaking fooddown into smaller particles, such that you increase the surface area of the food materials occurs in the oral cavity of many animals through a process called mastication or chewing.
Biochemical disgestion is the breakdown of small food particles with the help of enzymes, therefore it is also called enzymatic digestion.
Question 20. Pancreas produces
  1.    Three digestive enzymes and one hormone
  2.    Three types of digestive enzymes and two important gluose related hormones
  3.    Two digestive enzymes and one hormone
  4.    Three digestive enzymes and no hormone
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Three types of digestive enzymes and two important gluose related hormones
:
B
Pancreas secretes three types of digestive enzymes trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen and procarboxypeptidase. These enzymes digest proteins. The two hormones secreted are insulin and glucagon that maintain glucose level in the blood.
