Answer:

The statement is false.

Explanation:

At the base of the oxyntic gland, in addition to the parietal cells, the chief cells (peptic cells) are located, mainly in the lower half of the gastric glands, these cells have large basophilic zymogen granules, more prominent in the apical region and responsible of the secretion of pepsinogen proteolytic enzymes, a relatively constant fraction of pepsinogen I released by the chief cells is absorbed by the blood instead of passing into the gastric lumen. The stomach acid transforms pepsinogen into pepsin, which breaks down proteins in food during digestion.

Anvisha [2.4K]

If a person uses up his or her reserve supply of glycogen and still does not eat, sugar comes from the muscle.

Although only liver glycogen directly contributes to the release of glucose into circulation, maintaining a healthy blood glucose concentration is one of the glycogen's key functions. Since skeletal muscles lack glucose 6-phosphatase, they are unable to release glucose, and muscle glycogen primarily serves as a local energy source for activity rather than a source of fuel to keep blood glucose levels stable while fasting.

In fact, the breakdown of muscle glycogen into lactate allows for its delivery to the liver, where it participates in the maintenance of euglycemia through the process of gluconeogenesis (Cori cycle).

STatiana [176]
The type of bonds that are involved in these transient protein - DNA interactions include: IONIC BOND, VANDER WAAL FORCES AND HYDROGEN BOND.
Protein - DNA interaction occur when a protein bind to DNA molecule; this reaction usually occur in order to regulate the function of DNA, especially that of expression of genes. Protein interaction with DNA may be specific or non specific.
