  2. Chewing

  3. Dehydration

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Chewing is an important step in digestion. It helps in breaking down of food mechanically into finer texture and thus increase surface area of food for the action of saliva. Hence it improves digestion.
So, the correct answer is 'Chewing'.

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Chewing of food is the process of mastication of food. It is important to break down the food mechanically by teeth so that it gets easily mixed with saliva and swallowed. The food should be chewed 20 times before swallow it to increase its surface area.

So the correct answer is '20'.

  1. Solubilisation of food

  2. Enjoying the taste of food

  3. Decreasing surface area of food

  4. Increasing surface area of food

  1. To reduce surface area of the food eaten up

  2. To increase surface area of the food eaten up

  3. To make the food soluble

  4. To enjoy taste of food

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Chewing breaks the large food particles into the small. The mechanical digestion of food in the mouth involves converting bite-sized pieces of food into smaller particles. This has the effect of increasing the surface area of the food particles and allowing saliva to be thoroughly mixed with them.

So, the correct answer is 'To increase the surface area of the food eaten up'.

  1. Fat

  2. Protein

  3. Glycogen

  4. Vitamin

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Starvation is defined as a severe deficiency in calorie energy intake needed to maintain human life.

During first stage of starvation, glucose levels are maintained through production of glucose from proteins, glycogen and fats.Then body burns fats first exhusting contents of digestive tract along with glycogen resetrves stored in liver cells.

Which of the following break down the food into the simpler form that the body can use?

  1. Digestive juice

  2. Teeth

  3. Water

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The digestive juices consist of saliva, gastric juice, pancreatic juice, intestinal juice and bile. They help in break down of complex food into simpler building block components that can easily be absorbed by the body. These reactions occur outside the cells lining the gut.

So the correct answer is 'Digestive juice'.

Most digestion and all absorption of food take place in the :-

  1. small intestine

  2. large intestine

  3. stomach

  4. caecum

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Pepsin is the chief digestive enzyme in the stomach that stomach that breaks down proteins. Cells produce pepsinogen that is produced to act on mucus by epithelial cells of the stomach that helps to protect the lining of the stomach from corrosive hydrochloric acid and pepsin. And the absorption is done in small intestine.

So, the correct option is 'small intestine'.
