the stomage has a pH <1 therefore the food is acidificated
stomach acid your talking about stomach acid stomach acid dissolves your food and that's digesting and then when one day has past all the food from the other day would have dissapeared
There is a coating that protects the small intestine from the acid used for digesting food.
The hydrochloric acid in your stomach does NOT digest food. It simply provides the ideal conditions for enzymes to thrive. It's these enzymes that are responsible for digesting. The other purpose for the acid is to sterilise the food - microbes on the food are destroyed by the low pH of the HCl.
As the name implies, it is an acid, hydrochloric acid to be specific.
Yes. That is the reason for eating and digesting food.
A base.
1. combustion 2. rusting of iron 3.dissolving salt in water 4. digesting food 5. mixing acid and base
Acids and enzymes are what begin the process of "digesting" our food. Saliva supplies many of the enzymes, the stomach supplies the acid.
inside the stomach. it is used to digest food. The stomach has a mucous lining that prevents the stomach from digesting itself. Any other organ that would produce the acid would be destroyed by the acid right after.
three practical uses of an acid is in a home, food, and industry. the same goes for a base.
An ulcer is like a sore on the lining of the stomach caused by the acid used to digest food eating through the protective surface which normally stops the acid digesting our own stomachs.
base he says base but The foods we eat are digested; they break down into either an acid or an alkaline end-product in our tissues. This end-product is called the "ash" and is what remains in the body after the food has been broken down. i think is an acid
