How is acid in the stomach neutralised?

Acid in the stomach is actually not neutralized in the stomach, as you probably already know there is a layer of mucus inside your stomach to prevent the acid from digesting it. However, acid in the stomach (H+ ions) is neutralized in the duodenum with a base (HCO3- bicarbonate ion) that is found in the pancreatic fluid. The products of this chemical reaction are an undigestable salt and water.


Is maltose an amino acid?

yes it is.but only after it is mixed with the amylase that comes from pancreatic juice.


What type of reaction occurs both in the gastric secretion of HCl and pancreatic secretion of bicarbonate?

Hi the process which produces HCL in the oxnytic cells is by two methods, firstly it produces Chloride and hydrogens seperatley which then join to form HCL in the canaliculi. Then Hydrogen ion are relased from carbonic acid which is produced with the help of carbonic anhydrase. Similarly in the pancreatic production of bicarbonate, bicarbonate is produced from carbonic acid. CO2 plus H20 forms carbonic acid which then can form bicarbonate this type of reaction can be called a hydration reaction. so in both one can say carbonic acid is formed via hydration im sure the reaction will have many other names too also u may want to figure out if it can be called a REDOX Javster LMSRFC Hi the process which produces HCL in the oxnytic cells is by two methods, firstly it produces Chloride and hydrogens seperatley which then join to form HCL in the canaliculi.

Does bile stimulate release of pancreatic juices?

Bile is a green-yellow liquid that is produced by the liver. No, bile does not stimulate the release of pancreatic juices. It helps to break down fats and also neutralizes acid in the stomach.

What are the product of lipase reaction?

Pancreatic lipase may: hydrolyze triacylglycerols to yield 1,2-diacylglycerol and a fatty acid. It may also hydrolyze 1,2-diacylglycerol to yield 2-monoacylglycerol and a fatty acid. Pancreatic lipase may not hydrolyze 2-monoacylglycerol, because the enzyme is spesific for the primary ester links--> position 1 and 3 in triacylglycerols. But, intestinal isomerase may convert 2-monoacylglycerol to 1-monoacylglycerol. Then, pancreatic lipase can hydrolyze 1-monoacylglycerol to yield a fatty acid and glycerol. :)

Why is it important for the pancreas to release bicarbonate into the small intestine?

It is important for the pancreas to release bicarbonate into the small intestine because the pancreatic fluid flows into the small intestines. The pancreatic fluid consists of enzymes that chemically digest chyme and contains bicarbonate which neutralizes the acid in chyme. So in order for the stomach to chemically digest the food it has to have the pancreatic fluid.
