31) Which digestive enzyme is produced in the pancreas and is responsible for the breakdown of protein into peptides? ______ A) peptidase B) pancreatic amylase C) maltase D) trypsin 32) What are the potential consequences if a person has their gallbladder removed? A) The liver will stop producing bile because it won't have any place to store it. This means that they will have a decreased ability to emulsify the fats found within the small intestine. B) The liver will stop producing bile because it won't have any place to store it. This means that they will have a decreased ability to digest the proteins found within the small intestine. C) Their body will not be able to store the excess bile produced by the liver. This means that they will have a decreased ability to emulsify the fats found within the small intestine. D) Their body will not be able to store the excess bile produced by the liver. This means that they will have a decreased ability to emulsify the fats found within the stomach.

Why do the cells of the digestive system secrete proteolytic enzymes, such as pepsin, in their inactive forms? A) These proteolytic enzymes, in active form, would digest the very tissues that synthesize them. B) By secreting inactive enzymes, the catalytic activity of the enzymes is maintained for a longer time. C) The stomach is too acidic to maintain these enzymes in their active form. D) Inactive pepsin and trypsin are more easily transported across the cell membrane Over-the-counter medications for acid reflux or heartburn block the production of stomach acid. Which of the following cells are directly affected by this medication? A) goblet cells B) chief cells C) parietal cells D) smooth muscle cells The digestion of fats differs from that of carbohydrates in that ________. A) Fat digestion needs bile from the liver while carbohydrate does not B) Carbohydrates need to be emulsified before they can be digested, whereas fats do not C) Fat digestion occur in large intestine D) Fats, but not carbohydrates, are digested by bacteria before absorption Constipation can result from the consumption of a substance that ________. A) promotes water reabsorption in the large intestine B) speeds up movement of material in the large intestine C) decreases water reabsorption in the small intestine D) stimulates peristalsis If you place a small piece of a cracker on your tongue, what would you expect to happen? A) The vitamins in the cracker are immediately absorbed. B) Degradation of the starch from the cracker into glucose. C) The proteins in the cracker begin to be digested. D) The flavor becomes less noticeable because the sugars are digested.

Most chemical digestion occurs in this organ. In order for chyme to enter that region it has to move through this sphincter. But lipids are difficult to digest because they clump up to avoid the hydrophilic environment. So digestion of lipids has to begin with this process. That can only occur if this mixes with the chyme. However, that is only released if this duct opens. Once the clumps of lipid are broken into smaller clumps, there's much more surface area for this enzyme to break these hydrophobic molecules down. That enzyme tends to be made by this accessory organ for function at this digestive location. This other accessory organ doesn't make anything, but it does reabsorb about a half a liter of water each day.
