Question

4. What will happen if the secretion of parietal cells of gastric
glands is blocked with an inhibitor?
(a) In the absence of HCl secretion, inactive pepsinogen
is not converted into the active enzyme pepsin
(b) Enterokinase will not be released from the duodenal
mucosa and so trypsinogen is not converted to trypsin
(c) Gastric juice will be deficient in chymosin
(d) Gastric juice will be deficient in pepsinogen​
