2. What are the various enzymatic types of glandular secretions in our gut helping digestion of food? What is the nature of end products obtained after complete digestion of food?

Solution:

Secretion from gastric glands

Secretions in Liver

Secretions from the small intestine

The nature of end products obtained after complete digestion of food is as follows:

Dipeptides → Amino acids (presence of dipeptidase)

Maltose → Glucose + Glucose (presence of maltase)

Lactose → Glucose + Fructose (presence of lactase)

Nucleotides → Nucleosides→ Sugars + bases (presence of nucleotidase and nucleosidases)

Di and monoglycerides→ Fatty acids + Glycerols (presence of Lipase)
