Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which statement is not in accordance with the process of digestion that occurs in the stomach is ____
A
produces HCl to kill germs
B
HCl activates pepsinogen to pepsin
C
activates the enzyme renin to coagulate milk casein
D
produce trypsinogen which is activated by enterokinase
E
pepsin breaks down proteins into proteoses and peptones
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Trypsinogen is activated by enterokinase, which cleaves an amino-terminal activation peptide (TAP). Active trypsin then cleaves and activates all of the other pancreatic proteases, a phospholipase, and colipase, which is necessary for the physiological action of pancreatic triglyceride lipase.

Detailed explanation-2: -The glands of “Bruner” which forms the lining of duodenum secretes a proteolytic enzyme called enteropeptidase which converts the inactive trypsinogen secreted by the pancreatic cells to active trypsin. Therefore, enterokinase stimulates inactive trypsinogen. So, option D is the correct answer.
