A patient has a blocked bile duct. Which nutrient's digestion will be most affected?

Accepted Answer

Fats

Question 5

Which equation best represents the enzymatic breakdown of triglycerides by pancreatic lipase?

Accepted Answer

$$	ext{Triglyceride} + 	ext{Lipase} ightarrow 	ext{Monoglyceride} + 2 	ext{Fatty acids}$$

Question 6

Which accessory organ is incorrectly matched with its digestive secretion?

Accepted Answer

Gall bladder – amylase

Question 7

During digestion, which process is described by the equation $$	ext{Starch} + 	ext{Amylase} ightarrow 	ext{Maltose}$$?

Accepted Answer

Carbohydrate digestion in the small intestine

Question 8

A person has a genetic disorder that prevents the pancreas from releasing proteases. Which macronutrient will be least digested?

Accepted Answer

Proteins

Question 9

Which of the following best explains why bile is necessary for efficient fat digestion?

Accepted Answer

Question 14

Which of the following best describes the role of the liver in digestion?

Accepted Answer

Question 15

Which chemical reaction occurs during protein digestion in the small intestine?

Accepted Answer

$$	ext{Protein} + 	ext{Protease} ightarrow 	ext{Amino acids}$$
