Cellulose in our food passes out undigested.

bio-chemistry the muscular system and digestive system in human beings busy at work - our internal organs skeletal and digestive system from tasting to digestion types of ecological pyramids introduction to human digestive system

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cellulose falls into the category of indigestible carbohydrates known as dietary fibre. Humans don't have an enzyme to digest cellulose. 

Hence, the correct answer is 'true'

Digestion of food occurs as a result of

bio-chemistry the muscular system and digestive system in human beings busy at work - our internal organs skeletal and digestive system from tasting to digestion types of ecological pyramids introduction to human digestive system

  1. hydrolysis

  2. oxidation

  3. polymerization

  4. reduction

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  • The digestion process depends upon hydrolysis to provide the biochemical reactions that break down food.
  •  The digestive tract secretes enzymes, such as proteases, carbohydrases, nucleases and lipases that, along with water, catalyze the hydrolysis that releases various nutrients. Hence, the Digestion of food occurs as a result of hydrolysis.
So, the correct answer is 'hydrolysis'.

Most chemical digestion occurs in the

bio-chemistry the muscular system and digestive system in human beings busy at work - our internal organs skeletal and digestive system from tasting to digestion types of ecological pyramids introduction to human digestive system

  1. stomach

  2. liver

  3. duodenum

  4. large intestine

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Enteropeptidase is an enzyme produced by the cells of the duodenum and is involved in the digestion in humans and other animals. Enteropeptidase converts trypsinogen (a zymogen) into its active form trypsin, resulting in the subsequent activation of pancreatic digestive enzymes

So, the correct answer is 'duodenum'

Most digestive systems have regions for.......... food

bio-chemistry the muscular system and digestive system in human beings busy at work - our internal organs skeletal and digestive system from tasting to digestion types of ecological pyramids introduction to human digestive system

  1. transporting

  2. processing

  3. storing

  4. all of these

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The digestive system plays an important role in the absorption of nutrients into the body. It takes the food we ingest, breaks it down mechanically and chemically in the mouth and stomach. It then absorbs nutrients, fats, proteins, and water in the intestines before eliminating the waste through the rectum

So, the correct answer is 'all of these'

Which of the following is not produced in the stomach?

bio-chemistry the muscular system and digestive system in human beings busy at work - our internal organs skeletal and digestive system from tasting to digestion types of ecological pyramids introduction to human digestive system

  1. Sodium hydrogencarbonate

  2. Gastrin

  3. Hydrochloric acid

  4. Pepsinogen

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  1. The stomach produces gastrin, hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen.
  2. G-cells in the stomach releases gastrin in response to distension of the antrum. This, in turn, causes an increase in the secretion of HCl from the parietal cells or oxyntic cells, which kills or inhibits bacteria and provides the acidic pH for the proteases to work and pepsinogen is released from chief cells in the stomach called zymogenic cells or peptic cells. 
  3. Pepsinogen, inactive form of the enzyme in presence of hydrochloric acid activates into the active form, pepsin. Pepsin breaks down proteins into polypeptides. Hence, sodium hydrogen carbonate is not produced in the stomach.
So, the correct answer is 'sodium hydrogen carbonate'.

Disorders of digestive system
In which of the following order, the process of digestion proceeds?

  1. Digestion $\rightarrow$ Ingestion $\rightarrow$ Absorption $\rightarrow$

    Assimilation $\rightarrow$ Egestion

  2. Digestion $\rightarrow$ Ingestion $\rightarrow$ Assimilation $\rightarrow$ Absorption $\rightarrow$ Egestion

  3. Ingestion $\rightarrow$ Digestion $\rightarrow$ Assirhilation $\rightarrow$ Absorption $\rightarrow$ Egestion

  4. Ingestion $\rightarrow$ Digestion $\rightarrow$ Absorption $\rightarrow$ Assimilation $\rightarrow$ Egestion

Show answer
Correct Option: D

Which of these is a part of your digestive system? 

bio-chemistry the muscular system and digestive system in human beings busy at work - our internal organs skeletal and digestive system from tasting to digestion types of ecological pyramids introduction to human digestive system

  1. Stomach

  2. Pancreas

  3. Rectum

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of these choices are a part of your digestive system. Your digestive system has many other associated organs including the small intestine, large intestine, and liver. The stomach is an area of food digestion. The pancreas releases hormones that affect the digestive process. The rectum is the last place you store you food before the process of elimination (pooping).

In Paramecium, the phenomenon of cyclosis is associated with

bio-chemistry the muscular system and digestive system in human beings busy at work - our internal organs skeletal and digestive system from tasting to digestion types of ecological pyramids introduction to human digestive system

  1. digestion

  2. excretion

  3. locomotion

  4. reproduction

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cyclosis is the movement in the fluid in the cytoplasm where the proteins and nutrient in the cytoplasm get digested.

So, the correct option is 'digestion'.
