In a school practical, three test tubes, A, B and C were kept in front of a student. “A” has some starch in it, “B” has protein powder in it and “C” has fats in it. The teacher gave three chemical bottles to the student and asked to pour them into respective test tubes such that those contents can be broken down into simpler forms.
[One bottle per test tube must be used]
•Bottle 1 contains an enzyme that is secreted inside the mouth.
•Bottle 2 contains an enzyme that is secreted by the pancreas
•Bottle 3 contains an enzyme that is secreted by the stomach.

Can you help in choosing the correct chemicals to digest the substances in the test tubes?

Q. A student was working in a chemistry laboratory. He found that a bottle contained a white powdery substance but half of the label on the bottle was torn. The part of label still sticking to the bottle had NaH written on it. The student took this powdery substance in a test-tube and added dil. HCl to it.

Q. When a person puts food in his mouth, then teeth cut it into small pieces, chew and grind it. The glands A in the mouth secrete a substance B which is mixed with the food by tongue. The substance B contains an enzyme C which starts the digestion of food in the mouth. The slightly digested food from the mouth goes down a tube D. The special type of movements E in the walls of tube D push the food into stomach for further digestion. The stomach wall secretes gastric juice containing three substance F, G and H. One of the functions of F is to kill bacteria which may enter the stomach with food. The substance G protects the inside layer of stomach from the damaging effect of substance F whereas substance H is an enzyme for digestion. The partially digested food then enters into small intestine for further digestion.
(a) What is (i) gland A (ii) substance B, and (iii) enzyme C?
(b) Name the tube D.
(c) What is the movement E known as?
(d) What are (i) F (ii) G, and (iii) H?

(a) Which test-tube has a solution of pH higher than 7?
