What is is the relationship between chemical digestion and gastric fluid?
Chemical digestion is the process of breaking down large molecules into smaller ones for absorption. Gastric fluid, secreted by the cells in the stomach lining, contains enzymes such as pepsin that help break down proteins into amino acids.
