Case Based Questions

Chemical reactions involve the breaking and making of bonds between atoms to produce new substances. During a chemical reaction atoms of one element do not change into those of another element. Nor do, atoms disappear from the mixture or appear from elsewhere. There are certain types of reactions. Reactions in which a single product is formed from two or  more reactants is known as a combination reactions. Decomposition reactions are the reaction in which a compound breaks down into simpler compounds. Displacement and double displacement reactions are one in which an atom or group of atom is replaced by another. A double displacement reaction usually occurs in solution and one of products, being insoluble, percipitate out (separate as a solid). Another of reaction is redox reactions in which simultaneous oxidation and reduction takes place.

Case Based Questions

When food enters the mouth, the first enzyme of mix with food in the digestive tract is the salivary amylase commonly known as ptyalin. This enzyme breaks starch into sugars. When food reaches the stomach, the muscular walls of the stomach help in mixing the food thoroughly with digestive juices. Gastric glands release HCl, protein digesting enzyme pepsin and mucus which further protects the inner lining of the stomach from the action of the acid under normal conditions. From the stomach food enters the small intestine which is the site of complete digestion of carbohydrates , proteins and fats, It receives the secretions of the liver and pancreas for this purpose. The food coming from the stomach is acidic and has to be made alkaline for the pancreatic enzymes to act. Bile juice from the liver accomplishes this in addition to acting on fats.

Question. The inner lining of stomach is protected by one of the following from hydrochloric acid. Choose the correct one:
(a) Pepsin
(b) Mucus
(c) Salivary amylase
(d) Bile 

Answer

B

Question. Which is the first enzyme of mix with food in the digestive tract?

Answer

C

Question. If salivary amylase is lacking in the saliva, which of the following events in the mouth cavity will be affected?

Answer

B

Question. Which part of alimentary canal receives bile from the liver?

Case Based Questions

When light is passed through a prism it spit into. Its spectrum of colours (in order violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red) and this process of while light. Splitting into its  constituent colours intermed as dispersion of light . This splitting of the light ray occurs because of the different angles of bending for each colour. Hence, each colour while passing through the prism bends at different angles with respect to the incident beam. This gives rise to the formation of the coloured spectrum.

Question. Which of the  following colours viz., P, Q, R and S has more speed in the prism?
