KROK 1 2010 – Question 49 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
A newborn child suffers from milk curdling in stomach, this means that soluble milk proteins (caseins) transform to insoluble proteins (paracaseins) by means of calcium ions and a certain enzyme. What enzyme takes part in this process?
- A. Renin
- B. Gastrin
- C. Pepsin
- D. Secretin
- E. Lipase
Hint
Separate the gastric enzymes by what they do: clot milk, split proteins into peptides, digest fat or regulate secretion, and ask which activity the stem describes.
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.
