B
Which of the following is not normally found in saliva A) Amylase B) Protease C) Lysozyme D) Lipase E) Mucus
B
If digestion of a carbohydrate results in equal amounts of glucose and galactose, this carbohydrate is probably
Lactose

Most of the NADH is produced in
citric acid cycle
Liver damage would most affect the digestion of
lipids
Carbohydrate digestion begins in the ____, whereas protein digestion begins in the ___
mouth and stomach
In response to the hormone cholecystokinin, the pancreas secretes a fluid
rich in enzymes
Which of the following is not a function of saliva A) forms part of the acid mantle B) digestion of maltose C) mechanical digestion D) release of anti-bodies E) digestion of triglycerides
B
Glycolysis is best defined as the

Absorption of glucose from the gut lumen depends on A) cotransporter, proteins in the apical membrane of the epithelial cell B) higher sodium ion concentration in the lumen than in the epithelial cell C) the sodium-potassium pump in the basolateral membrane of the epithelial cell D) A and B only E) A, B, and C
E
In the electron transport chain A) coenzymes receive hydrogen atoms from NADH and FADH2 B) oxidized molecules gain energy at the expense of reduced molecules C) oxidative phosphorylation takes place and ATP is formed D) all of the above E) A and C only
E) A and C only
Lipase digests
Triglycerides
Which vitamin requires intrinsic factor in order to be absorbed?
Vitamin B12
Due to a lack of carbonic anhydrase in her parietal cells, Renee produces very little HCl in the stomach, this would most effect the absorption of _____ in the small intestine

disaccharide; lactase
Bile is stored in the:
gallbladder
The absorption of dipeptides in the small intestine involves
secondary active symport with H+.

secretin
The lining of the gastrointestinal tract that allows for absorption and secretion is
simple columnar epithelium
Amylase from saliva digests
starch
