Question #1
In human digestive system, the enzyme that digests fats is:
A. Lipase
B. Pepsin
C. Sucrase
D. Amylase

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Lipase is the fat-digesting enzyme, produced mainly by the pancreas (pancreatic lipase) and also by lingual and gastric glands. It hydrolyzes triglycerides into monoglycerides and free fatty acids. Bile salts emulsify fats, increasing surface area for lipase action. Amylase digests starch, pepsin digests proteins, sucrase hydrolyzes sucrose. Lipase requires colipase for optimal activity.

The pigment that is the primary electron donor in photosystem I is:
A. Chlorophyll b
B. P680
C. Carotenoid
D. P700

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
P700 is the reaction center chlorophyll a of photosystem I, absorbing light at 700 nm. It donates electrons to ferredoxin. P680 is the reaction center of PSII. Chlorophyll b and carotenoids are accessory pigments. The two photosystems work in series to transfer electrons from water to NADP⁺.
