Which of the following descriptions is incorrectly matched to the type of digestion occuring?   Acidic pH of gastric juice helping break down proteins and activate enzymes - mechanical digestion   Salivary amylase breaking down starch - chemical digestion   Peristalsis of the small intestine mixing up chyme - mechanical digestion   bile salts helping to emulsify fats and raise the pH - chemical digestion   chewing and mixing of food in the mouth - mechanical digestion
Which of the following is NOT a regulatory mechanism for digestion? Only carbohydrates are digested in the oral cavity. Hormones are secreted at various stages of digestion pH of the digestive tract is altered by the release of bicarbonates to the GI tract. Enzyme activation is effected by autocatalysis of zymogens. Cells and different organ systems are involved in the digestion of foodstuffs.
Which of the following statements regarding digestive systems are correct?     Glucose monomers are linked together by alpha 1-4 glycosidic bonds in both starch and cellulose.   Gastrin is produced by exocrine cells of the gastric glands.   Pepsinogen and gastric acid (HCl) are both secreted into the lumen of the stomach.
