KROK 1 2019 – Question 43 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
Disturbed activity of trypsin and chymotrypsin leads to disturbed protein breakup in the small intestine. Activity of these enzymes depends on the presence of the following factor:
- A. Pepsin
- B. Hydrochloric acid
- C. Bile acids
- D. Na+ salts
- E. Enterokinase
Hint
Ask how these pancreatic proteases are converted from inactive precursors into working enzymes, and what starts that conversion in the small intestine.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
