Which one of the following statement is false regarding digestion and absorption of food in humans?

1. Oxyntic cells in our stomach secrete the proenzyme pepsinogen.

2. Glucose and amino acids are absorbed with the help of carrier ions like Na+.

3. Chylomicrons are small lipoprotein particles that are transported from intestine into blood capillaries.

4. About 30% of starch is hydrolysed by salivary amylase in our mouth.

What will happen if the secretion of parietal cells of gastric glands is blocked with an

inhibitor?

1. Gastric juice will be deficient in chymosin

2. Gastric juice will be deficient in pepsinogen

3. In the absence of HCl secretion, inactive pepsinogen is not converted into the active

enzyme pepsin

4. Enterokinase will not be released from the duodenal mucosa and so trypsinogcn is not

converted to trypsin
