∙ 9y agoYour stomach is lined with mucus. This mucus play very important role. It protects the stomach wall from the digestive enzyme called as pepsin and strong hydrochloric acid. Your stomach is made up of cells. The acid and enzyme can easily digest the same. The enzyme brakes the peptide bond. This bond is absent in the mucus. It is not affected by the acid and enzyme.
