Question 21. Which of the following represents the dental formula of man
  1.    0.0.3.3 3.1.3.3
  2.    2.0.3.3 1.0.2.3
  3.    2.1.2.3 2.1.2.3
  4.    1.0.0.3 1.0.0.3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2.1.2.3 2.1.2.3
:
C
The number of teeth of each type is written as a dental formula for one side of the mouth, or quadrant, with the upper and lower teeth shown on separate rows. The number of teeth in a mouth is twice that listed as there are two sides.
In each set, incisors (I) are indicated first, canines (C) second, premolars (P) third, and finally molars (M), giving I:C:P:M. So for example, the formula 2.1.2.3 for upper teeth indicates 2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars, and 3 molars on one side of the upper mouth
Question 22. In man, the zymogen or chief cells are mainly found in
  1.    Cardiac part of stomach
  2.    Pyloric part of stomach
  3.    Duodenum
  4.    Fundic part of stomach
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Fundic part of stomach
:
D
Zymogen or chief cells are present in the fundic part of stomach. Chief cells are usually basal in location and secrete gastric digestive enzymes as proenzymes or zymogens; pepsinogen and prorennin.
Question 23. Bile salts help in
  1.    digestion of fat
  2.    digestion and absorption of fat
  3.    digestion of protein
  4.    digestion of protein and fat
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> digestion and absorption of fat
:
B
Bile salts are not digestive enzymes but contains inorganic salts. They neutralize the HCl, imparting alkanity to chyme and inactivating gastric pepsin. Here, the fat is emulsified, which facilitates easy action of lipases of pancreatic juice upon the fat. The bile salts also help in absorption of fatty acid, monoglycerides, cholesterol and other lipids from chyme.
Question 24. Starch is converted to maltose by the action of
  1.    Maltase
  2.    Sucrose
  3.    Amylase
  4.    Invertase
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Amylase
:
C
Ptyalin, a form of amylase in the saliva of humans and some animals, catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into maltose and dextrin.
Question 25. Regarding the digestion of carbohydrates; Match the following intermediates with the particular enzyme:
Column I (Enzyme)Column II (Substrate)i. Amylasea. Maltose.ii. Maltaseb.Saccharides.iii.Sucrasec.Dextrins.iv. α Dextrinase  d.Sucrose.
  1.    i). → c., ii). → d., iii). →d., iv). → a..
  2.    i).→ b., ii).→ a., iii).→d., iv).→ c..
  3.    i).→ d., ii).→ b., iii).→ a., iv).→c..
  4.    i).→ a., ii).→c., iii).→ b., iv). →d..
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> i).→ b., ii).→ a., iii).→d., iv).→ c..
:
B
The correct matching pairs are :
ColumnI(Enzyme)ColumnII(Substrate)i.Amylaseb.Saccharides.ii.Maltasea.Maltose.iii.Sucrasec.Sucrose.iv.αDextrinased.Dextrins.
So the correct option is B. i). b., ii). a., iii). c., iv). d..
Thesubstrateis a molecule upon which an enzyme acts. Enzymes catalyse chemical reactions involving thesubstrate.
Question 26. Rennin acts on milk proteins and converts:
  1.    Caseinogen to casein
  2.    casein into paracasein
  3.    Caseinogens to paracasein
  4.    paracasein into caseinogen
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> casein into paracasein
:
B
In the presence of calcium rennin changes irreversibly the casein of milk to a paracasein which is then acted upon by pepsin. This enzyme is said to be absent from the stomach of adults.”
Question 27. Which of the following carries glucose from digestive tract to liver?
  1.    Pulmonary vein
  2.    Hepatic artery
  3.    Hepatic portal vein
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Hepatic portal vein
:
C
A system of veins leading from the digestive tract to capillaries in the liver of a vertebrate is known as hepatic portal system. Thus, absorbed products of digestion (except fat) go straight to the liver and not to the heart. Pulmonary vein conveys oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. Hepatic artery supply blood to the liver.
Question 28. If pancreas is removed, the compound which remain undigested is
  1.    Proteins
  2.    Carbohydrates
  3.    Fats
  4.    All of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of these
:
D
Pancreas secretes pancreatic juice that acts on all type of foods. It contains pancreatic amylase for the digestion of carbohydrates; trypsinogen, chymotry- psinogen and procarboxypeptidases for the digestion of proteins, pancreatic lipase for the digestion of fats and nuclease for nucleic acid.
Question 29. Rennin acts on milk proteins and converts:
  1.    Caseinogen to casein
  2.    casein into paracasein
  3.    Caseinogens to paracasein
  4.    paracasein into caseinogen
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> casein into paracasein
:
B
In the presence of calcium rennin changes irreversibly the casein of milk to a paracasein which is then acted upon by pepsin. This enzyme is said to be absent from the stomach of adults.”
Question 30. Regarding the digestion of carbohydrates; Match the following intermediates with the particular enzyme:
Column I (Enzyme)Column II (Substrate)i. Amylasea. Maltose.ii. Maltaseb.Saccharides.iii.Sucrasec.Dextrins.iv. α Dextrinase  d.Sucrose.
  1.    i). → c., ii). → d., iii). →d., iv). → a..
  2.    i).→ b., ii).→ a., iii).→d., iv).→ c..
  3.    i).→ d., ii).→ b., iii).→ a., iv).→c..
  4.    i).→ a., ii).→c., iii).→ b., iv). →d..
