Pepsin, in its inactive form it is known as pepsinogen.
Lingual lipase, secreted by lingual glands in the tongue, are activated by the acidic environment of the stomach and thus work starts to work after food is swallowed.

What is the role of hydrochloric acid in the stomach?
There is an enzyme called pepsin in our stomach which helps in digestion of food. Hydrochloric acid helps to activate pepsin as well as kills the germs present in food.
What is chemical found in the stomach needed to activate pepsinogen to pepsin?
You think probable to pepsin or hydrochloric acid.
What is the effect of hydrochloric acid on the enzyme activity?
Denature enzyme activity
What cells produce the precursor enzyme of hydrochloric acid?
they had a pankake and a neclase thats not the answer or is it yesss
Why is there hydrochloric acid in the stomach?
Pepsin, which is used to break down proteins, cannot work unless it is in an acid environment. Due to this fact, the stomach secretes both pepsin and hydrochloric acid to digest the protein in a meal.

Is stomach acid an enzyme?
Stomach acid, or hydrochloric acid (HCl), is not an enzyme, because stomach acid is neither a protein nor a catalyst.
Why do people stomach contain hydrochloric acid?
Hydrochloric acid is necessary in the breakup of proteins. They activate digestive enzymes and unravel the proteins.
What enzyme is activated by HC1?
HC1 (hydrochloric acid) activates pepsinogen into its enzyme form Pepsin.
What is the name of the most important digestive enzyme in gastric juice?
Hydrochloric Acid
What role does stomach acid play in digestion?
Hydrochloric acid Hydrochloric acid
Enzyme found in gastric juices?
the enzyme found in gastric juice is Pepsinogenand it only works in an acidic environment (hydrochloric acid is in the stomach)then when that enzyme gets mixed with the hydrochloric acid it creates pepsin and pepsin breaks down proteins into amino acid chainsthere are also other enzymes like:HClReninPepsinogenGelatinaseGastric AmylaseGastric Lipase
Hydrochloric acid must be present for the formation of a protein-splitting enzyme called?
pepsin
