A person who is eating boiled potato, his food contains the component which is :
A
Cellulose which is digested by cellulase
B
Starch which is not digested
C
Lactose which is not digested
D
DNA which can be digested by pancreatic DNAase
Detailed Solution
Boiled potato contains starch, a little cellulose, and the DNA (and RNA) of the potato cells.
Starch is digested by salivary and pancreatic amylases. Humans do not produce cellulase, so cellulose is not digested.
Potato has no lactose (milk sugar).
The nucleic acids are digested in the small intestine by pancreatic nucleases (DNase and RNase) into nucleotides.
So the food contains DNA, which can be digested by pancreatic DNase.
