Explanation / Answer

59.

Cholecystokinin is a peptide hormone produced by enteroendocrine cells of duodenum, the first part of small intestines. The release of cholecystokinin induces the release of digestive enzymes by pancreas to carryout the digestion of proteins. This hormone also induces the bile release from gall bladder to carryout emulsification of fats. Cholecycstokinin hormone is previously known with the name of pancreozymin. The option B is correct. Endocrine part of pancreas produces insulin and glucagon hormones that regulate the blood glucose levels. Secretin and gastrin are produced by stomach.

60.

The pancreatic juice is composed of proteases that digest proteins, lipases that digest fats, nucleases that digest the nucleic acids and sodium bicarbonate to increase the pH during digestion. Enterokinase is produced by the small intestines and is not component of pancreatic juice. option E is correct.

61.

During digestion in small intestines, the enterocytes in the brush border of intestinal epithelium increase the surface area for digestion to takes place and carry the components of digestion. The brush border releases the enzymes to accomplish the digestion and this mechanism is known as contact digestion. Option D is correct.

62.

The digestion of carbohydrates begins in mouth and is accomplished by salivary amylase enzyme. The digestion of proteins is initiated by stomach proteases. Thus, carbohydrates digestion starts in mouth and protein digestion starts in stomach. option C is correct.

63.

Peptidases and proteases are enzymes that hydrolyze the substrates called proteins. The proteins are broken down to short peptides and then further into monomeric forms called amino acids. Option B is correct.
