The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the incorrect statements, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement Analysis**: - **Statement i**: "Enzymes of pancreatic juice not only digest the polypeptides but also polynucleotides." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Pancreatic enzymes, such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, digest proteins (polypeptides), and nucleases in pancreatic juice can digest nucleic acids (polynucleotides). 2. **Statement ii**: "Bile juice has not only digestive enzymes but also bile salts." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Bile juice does not contain digestive enzymes; it primarily contains bile salts, which help in the emulsification of fats. Therefore, this statement is false. 3. **Statement iii**: "Saliva is not only a digestive juice but also acts as a first line of defence." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Saliva contains enzymes like amylase for digestion and also has antimicrobial properties, contributing to the immune defense of the oral cavity. 4. **Statement iv**: "The cells of pyloric glands not only secrete mucus but also gastrin hormone." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. The pyloric glands in the stomach secrete mucus and also produce the hormone gastrin, which stimulates gastric acid secretion. ### Conclusion: - The only incorrect statement is **Statement ii**. Thus, the answer to the question is that the incorrect statement is **Statement ii only**.
