A child may have a diet containing sufficient carbohydrates and fats but still suffers a serious form of malnutrition. This form of malnutrition is known as Kwashiorkor. It develops in children whose diets are deficient in protein. When the first child is weaned (not accustomed to food other than its mother’s milk) after the second is born, its primary supply of protein (the mother’s milk) is lost. If the new diet is very low in protein the needs of the growing individual this disease develops. All the food stuff eg. milks, lentils, meat and eggs are rich in proteins.

Correct Option: B

Cholecystokinin is a hormone which is secreted by the duodenal wall. It causes the release of bile by the contraction of the gall bladder & increases the enzyme release process of pancreatic cells. The pancreatic juice enterokinase is an ‘activator enzyme’ which is present in the intestinal juice (success entericus) and converts the inactive proenzyme trypsinogen to active trypsin enzyme. Secretin is also a hormone and causes the release of sodium bicarbonate in the pancreatic juice.
