The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the truthfulness of the four statements related to digestion, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1**: "The salivary amylase hydrolyzes the protein to the amino acid." - **Analysis**: Salivary amylase is an enzyme found in saliva that primarily breaks down carbohydrates, specifically starches, into simpler sugars (like maltose). It does not act on proteins. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **False (F)**. 2. **Statement 2**: "The pancreatic amylase hydrolyzes the polysaccharide to disaccharide." - **Analysis**: Pancreatic amylase is secreted by the pancreas and functions similarly to salivary amylase. It breaks down polysaccharides (complex carbohydrates) into disaccharides. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **True (T)**. 3. **Statement 3**: "The enteropeptidase activates the pepsinogen into the pepsin." - **Analysis**: Enteropeptidase is an enzyme that activates trypsinogen into trypsin in the small intestine. Pepsinogen is activated to pepsin by hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach, not by enteropeptidase. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **False (F)**. 4. **Statement 4**: "Trypsin coagulates the milk protein casein." - **Analysis**: The coagulation of milk is primarily done by the enzyme renin (or rennin), not trypsin. Trypsin is involved in protein digestion but does not coagulate milk. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **False (F)**. ### Final Summary of Statements: - Statement 1: **False (F)** - Statement 2: **True (T)** - Statement 3: **False (F)** - Statement 4: **False (F)**
