Question

Match column I with column II.

Column I	Column II
(a) Bilirubin and biliverdin	(i) Parotid
(b) Hydrolysis of starch	(ii) Bile
(c) Digestion of fat	(iii) Lipases
(d) Salivary gland	(iv) Amylases

• A. a- i, b- ii, c- iii, d- iv
• B. a- ii, b- i, c- iv, d- iii
• C. a- ii, b- iv, c- iii, d- i
• D. a- iv, b- iii, c- ii, d- i

Answer 1

The correct option is C a- ii, b- iv, c- iii, d- i

A) Bile pigments are the breakdown products of the blood component haemoglobin. The two most important bile pigments are bilirubin, which is orange or yellow, and its oxidized form biliverdin, which is green. They are excreted through faeces and give colour to the faecal matter.

B) A carbohydate consisting of a large number of glucose units is called starch. The process of hydrolysis or breakdown of starch into constituent sugars requires enzymes known as amylases. The pancreas and salivary gland produce amylase.

C) Lipase is an enzyme used to break down fats in food so they can be absorbed in the intestines. It is produced in the pancreas, mouth, and stomach.

D) The salivary glands are exocrine glands that produce saliva. There are four pairs of salivary glands: Parotid glands, Submandibular glands, Sublingual glands and Buccal glands.

Hence, the correct match is a- ii, b- iv, c- iii, d- i.
