The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the statements (A-D) are wrong, we will evaluate each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Statement A**: - Statement A claims that "The stomach stores the food for 4-5 hours." - This statement is **correct**. The stomach does store food for several hours while it is being digested. 2. **Evaluate Statement B**: - Statement B states that "The food mixes thoroughly with the acidic intestinal juice." - This statement is **incorrect**. The food mixes with acidic gastric juice in the stomach, not intestinal juice. The intestinal juice is alkaline, not acidic. 3. **Evaluate Statement C**: - Statement C claims that "Trypsinogen is activated by an enzyme-enterogastrone, secreted by the intestinal mucosa." - This statement is **incorrect**. Trypsinogen is activated by the enzyme enterokinase, not enterogastrone. Enterokinase is secreted by the intestinal mucosa, but it is not the same as enterogastrone. 4. **Evaluate Statement D**: - Statement D states that "Renin is an enzyme found in gastric juice of infants which helps in digestion of milk protein." - This statement is **correct**. Renin is indeed present in the gastric juice of infants and helps in the digestion of milk protein. ### Conclusion: - Out of the four statements, **two statements (B and C) are incorrect**. - Therefore, the answer to the question is that **2 statements are wrong**. ### Final Answer: **2 statements are wrong.**
