Solution

The correct option is A Digestion of proteins in stomach is totally inhibited
Globlet cells are column-shaped cells found in the epithelial lining of respiratory and intestinal tracts. Their main function is to , which produces mucin, an important component of mucus. It secretes mucus in order to protect the mucous membranes. If the globlet cells become non functional due to some reason, it will affect the smooth movement of the food down the intestine. It will also clog the airway. Gastric juices are made up of enzymes and hydrochloric acid. The mucus present in gastric juices protect the lining of the stomach from the acidic environment. If the globlet cells are non function, the digestion of proteins in stomach by gastric juices will be totally inhibited.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Digestion of proteins in stomach is totally inhibited.'
