We need more information as to which enzymes you are asking about.
The proteases in your stomach thrive in strongly acidic conditions of pH 2.
HCl lowers the pH in the stomach and provides the acidic conditions for the digestive enzymes in the stomach to work effectively.
Stomach digestive juice is quite acidic.
The stomach (part of the digestive system) has a low pH (acidic), which kills pathogens.
neutralise the acidic or basic effects of the foods. kill germs and other micro organisms. breakdown the food into simple sugars or glucose

Yes. Born as endosomes that contain inactive enzymes, lysosomes are spherical, membranous organelles containing activated digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are large and abundant within phagocytes, the cells that dispose of invading bacteria and cell debris. Lysosomal enzymes can digest almost all kinds of biological molecules. They work best in acidic conditions and so are called acid hydrolases.
It's very acidic so it will provide the conditions for enzymes to multiply and it will kill off bacteria. Acid DOES NOT digest the food, ENZYMES digest the food
Digestive enzymes work best in a slightly acidic environment rather than a neutral environment. That's the reason why the stomach releases gastric acid.
hydrochloric acid is produced in the stomach, this creates an acidic environment for digestive enzymes such as protease and amylase to start breaking down your food It is the stomach. The acidic environment prevents the majority of ingested (and potentially dangerous) bacteria from surviving past the stomach as the acid quickly denatures most enzymes. It is noticeable that carnivores like big cats have exceptionally acidic stomach environments, due to the nature of the food they eat.
no
the bald eagle digestive system is extremely acidic. it is acidic enough to digest bones and such hard things whole!
