2.

What does ingestion means?

a)

The process of breaking large food into smaller pieces

b)

The process of taking food into our body by swallowing

c)

The process of releasing enzyme from glands

3.

How does salivary gland helps in digestion of food?

Secretion of enzyme lipase that breaks down lipids into fatty acid and glycerol

b)

Release hydrochloric acid that breaks down protein into amino acid

c)

Release saliva that contain enzyme amylase that breaks down starch into maltose

Chemical digestion of protein by protease

d)

Hydrochloric acid kills ingested bacteria

Removal of undigested food from our body

c)

The process of breaking large food molecules into smaller chemical

9.

Which of the following enzyme action is FALSE?

a)

Amylase breaks down starch into maltose

b)

Maltase breaks down glucose into maltose

c)

Protease breaks down protein into amino acids

d)

Lipase breaks down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol

10.

Protease breaks down protein into amino acid. What is the differences between protease in the stomach and the protease in the duodenum?

a)

The protease in duodenum also break starch, maltose and lipids

b)

The duodenum is warmer so they work best at different temperature

c)

The stomach is acidic so they work best at different pH

d)

There is no differences. They do the same thing.
