Identify the correct statement about the digestive enzymes: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Identify the correct statement about the digestive enzymes:
A. Pepsinogen is active without HCl.
B. Ptyalin is a lipase.
C. Trypsin is secreted by the pancreas.
D. Sucrase breaks down lactose.
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)

Question #1
The process by which water moves from a region of higher water potential to lower water potential across a selectively permeable membrane is:
A. Plasmolysis
B. Active transport
C. Osmosis
D. Diffusion

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Osmosis is the special case of diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane down its concentration gradient (from high to low water potential). It does not require energy. Diffusion refers to solute movement, active transport requires energy against a gradient, and plasmolysis is the shrinking of protoplasm due to water loss.

Question #2
Assertion (A): Green plants are called autotrophs.
Reason (R): They can synthesize their own food by photosynthesis.
A. A false, R true.
B. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation.
C. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.
D. A true, R false.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Autotrophs produce organic compounds from inorganic CO₂ and water using light energy (photosynthesis). This exactly defines green plants. So both are true, and R explains A.

Question #3
What is the correct dental formula for an adult human?
A. 2122 / 2122
B. 2103 / 2103
C. 2123 / 2123
D. 2133 / 2133

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The dental formula represents the number of each type of tooth in one half of the upper and lower jaws. For an adult human, it is 2123 / 2123. This means: 2 Incisors, 1 Canine, 2 Premolars, and 3 Molars in each quadrant (upper right, upper left, lower right, lower left), totaling 32 teeth.
