Proteins entering the stomach act as a buffer raising pH.Rising pH stimulates the activity of G-cells in the lining of the stomach.All of the following but one will occur.Select the statement below that would not occur.
A) More stomach acid will be produced and secreted.
B) A positive feedback response will be initiated and G-cell activity will continue to go up.
C) Protein digestion will be enhanced.
D) Digestive enzymes will be released.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A positive feedback response leading to further increase in G-cell activity is unlikely as the rise in stomach pH will eventually stabilize the activity of G-cells. However, the other statements are true - more stomach acid will be produced and secreted, protein digestion will be enhanced, and digestive enzymes will be released.
