Introduction:
Lipids are hydrophobic in nature, so digestion and absorption of lipid is a more complicated process when compared to protein and carbohydrate digestion. Lingual lipase in the mouth secreted by intrinsic salivary glands digests small quantity of fat. This enzyme moistens the mouth even if we do not eat anything. Emulsification droplets, micelles, and chylomicrons are involved in lipid digestion.

Answer to Problem 1TYR
Correct answer:
Lingual lipase is an enzyme that begins the digestion of fat in the mouth; this is more active in the stomach because of the acidic pH. Therefore, option b is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Justify the reasons for the correct statement:
Lingual lipase is secreted by lingual serous glands that is collected in the stomach between and after every meal.
Option (b) is given as, “lingual lipase”.
Lingual lipase is one of the acidic enzymes involved in the digestion of fat.
Hence, option (b) is correct.
Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as, “chymotrypsin”.
Chymotrypsin is secreted by the pancreas that digest proteins. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (c) is given as, “carboxypeptidase”.
Carboxypeptidases are pancreatic secretions that are involved in protein digestion; it removes amino acid from the –COOH end. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (d) is given as, “enteropeptidase”.
The trypsinogen (pancreatic zymogen) is converted to trypsin by enteropeptidase. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (e) is given as, “dextrinase”.
Dextrinase enzyme in the small intestine is involved in digestion of starch, converting it into glucose. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (c), (d), and (e) are incorrect.
Lingual lipase secreted by lingual serous glands is more active in the stomach.

- "One of the symmetry breaking events in mouse gastrulation requires the amplification of Nodal on the side of the embryo opposite to the Anterior Visceral Endoderm (AVE). Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE. 1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site 4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?arrow_forwardIf four babies are born on a given day What is the chance all four will be girls?

- Plekhg5 functions in bottle cell formation, and Shroom3 functions in neural plate closure, yet the phenotype of injecting mRNA of each into the animal pole of a fertilized egg is very similar. What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forwardWhat are some medical issues or health trends that may have a direct link to the idea of keeping fat out of diets?arrow_forwardwhat did charles darwin do in sciencearrow_forward
