Question

Study the following and pick up the correct statements:
I. Paneth cells of intestinal glands secrete lysozyme
II. Kupfer's cells are the hepatic macrophages
III. Intestinal lipase is called steapsin
IV. Oxidation of one gram of fats yields 4 k.cal of energy

• A. I, II
• B. III, IV
• C. I, III
• D. II, IV

Hint:

Remember: Fat energy = 9 kcal/g, Carbohydrates = 4 kcal/g. Paneth = lysozyme, Kupffer = liver macrophage, Steapsin = fat-digesting enzyme.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

- Paneth cells secrete lysozyme to fight microbes.
- Kupffer cells are liver macrophages.
- Intestinal lipase (steapsin) digests fats; 1 g fat yields ~9 kcal, not 4 kcal.
Hence, I and II are correct.
