  1. Rennin

  2. Salivary amylase

  3. Pepsin

  4. Lactase


Correct Option: A

Read the following reactions and choose the correct option:
$Pepsinogen {}\overset{HCl}{\rightarrow}Pepsin$
$Proteins{}\overset{pepsinogen}{\rightarrow}Proteoses + Peptones$
$Trypsinogen{}\overset{HCl}{\rightarrow}Trypsin$
$Chymotrypsinogen  {}\overset{enterokinase}{\rightarrow}Chymotrypsin$
$Peptones{}\overset{trypsin}{\rightarrow}Dipeptides$

  1. i alone is correct

  2. i and v alone are correct

  3. iii and v alone are correct

  4. ii, iv and v alone are correct

  5. ii alone is correct

Consider the following four statements and select the correct option stating which ones are true (T) and which ones are false (F).
(i) Salivary amylase hydrolyses proteins to amino acids.
(ii) Pancreatic amylase hydrolyses polysaccharides to disaccharides.
(iii) Enteropeptidase activates pepsinogen to pepsin.
(iv) Trypsin coagulates the milk protein casein. 

  1. T T F F

  2. F T F T

  3. F T F F

  4. F T T F


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

(i) Salivary amylase hydrolases proteins to amino acids - False

(ii) Pancreatic amylase hydrolases polysaccharides to disaccharides - True
(iii) Enteropeptidase activates pepsinogen to pepsin - False
(iv) Trypsin coagulates the milk protein casein - False
So, the correct answer is (c).

Which enzyme initiates protein digestion?

  1. Pepsin

  2. Trypsin

  3. Aminopeptidase

  4. Carboxypeptidase


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The enzyme that initiates protein digestion is 'pepsin'.

So the correct option is A.

Refer to the given flow chart.
Milk casein $\overset{Y}{\rightarrow}$ Paracasein $\overset{Z}{\rightarrow}$ Calcium paracaseinate (Curdling of milk). in it, letters 'Y' and 'Z' denote

  1. Rennin and $Ca^{++}$

  2. $Ca^{++}$ and rennin

  3. Renin, HCl and $Ca^{++}$

  4. Renin and $Ca^{++}$


Correct Option: A

Match column I with column II and select the correct option from the given codes.

   Column  I     Column II
 A.  Vegetative buds  i.  Buds develop in axils of leaves
 B.  Floral buds  ii.  Buds produce leafy shoots 
 C.  Axillary buds  iii.  Reproductive buds that produce flowers
 D.  Accessory  iv  Additional buds borne at leaf bases
  1. (A) - (ii), (B) - (iii), (C) - (i), (D) - (iv)

  2. (A) - (iii), (B) - (ii), (C) - (i), (D) - (iv)

  3. (A) - (iv), (B) - (iii), (C) - (ii), (D) - (i)

  4. (A) - (i), (B) - (ii), (C) - (iv), (D) - (iii)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Bud is a condensed rudimentary shoot. Such buds developed into leafy shoots.

  • Axillary buds: originate from the axils of leaves.
  • Vegetative buds: Buds that give rise to new shoots and leaves. Presence of such bud indicates the regrowth of the plant.
  • Floral bud: It is swelling or formation of a premature flower bloom. This bud will eventually produce a flower.
  • Accessory bud:  A bud growing near and in addition to a axillary bud.
  • So, the correct answer is " (A)- (ii),(B)- (iii), (C) - (i), (D) - ( iv).
