food digestion
Digestion is the PROCESS of breaking food down so that it can be used by a body. In humans, PART of that process involves an acid in your stomach.
Acid for digestion.
HCl is an acid. It is a strong acid called hydrochloric acid which is commonly found in the stomach and helps in the process of digestion.
.....The stomache.....
One role of acid in the process of digestion is to neutralize enzymes. Pepsin and hydrochloric acid are released into the partially digested food which helps to break it down even further before moving into the intestines.
Enzymes, they are responsible in chemical digestion.
Digestion involves both acidic and alkaline environments within the digestive system. For example, the stomach produces hydrochloric acid to break down food, while the small intestine secretes alkaline juices to neutralize the acidic chyme coming from the stomach. This balance of acid and alkali is crucial for proper digestion of food.
Hydrochloric acid is an acid. It is a strong mineral acid produced in the stomach to aid in digestion and has a pH level around 1-2.
The stomach because it has the stomach acid that breaks down food and goes into the digestion system.
