Which of the following is incorrect regarding the given digestion and absorption of protein?A. The breakdwon of proteins to peptides is catalyzed by pepsin in the stomach and by the pancreatic enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin in the small intestine.B. Peptides are broken down into amono acids by pancreatic carboxypeptidase and intestinal aminopeptidase.C. Small peptides consisting of two or three amono acids can diffuse through epithelial cell and broken down into carbon dioxide and ammonia which are released into the blood.D. none of these

Most of the fat digestion occurs inA. rectumB. stomachC. duodenumD. small intestine

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Fats are emulsified in small intestine by the detergent action of bile salts. Emulsification of fat converts large fat droplets into large number of small droplets, which provide larger surface area to lipases.

These intestinal lipase hydrolysis some tri, di and monoglycerides to fatty acids and glycerol molecules. So, the most of fat digestion occurs in small intestine.
