hydrochloric acid
Hydrochloric acid is combined with enzymes and water in the stomach to form gastric juices. These gastric juices help break down food into smaller molecules for digestion and nutrient absorption.
Food is combined with enzymes and water in the stomach to form gastric juices. These gastric juices help break down the food into smaller particles that can be absorbed by the body for energy and nutrients.
Chyme is the semi-fluid mass of partly digested food that moves from the stomach to the small intestine. Its pH can range from acidic (around 2.0-4.0) due to the presence of gastric juices in the stomach. The composition of chyme includes food particles, water, enzymes, and gastric juices such as hydrochloric acid and pepsin.
The endogenous water in the gastrointestinal tract comes from secretions produced by the digestive system, such as saliva, gastric juices, pancreatic juices, and bile. This water is essential for the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the gut.
Digestive juices do contain water, but the exact amount can vary. For example, saliva is about 99% water, while gastric juice is composed of around 98% water. In general, water plays a crucial role in helping to break down food and facilitate the digestive process.
The cranial nerve X (Vagus Nerve) is involved for digestion. It stimulates the stomach and releases gastric juices including water, pepsin and hydrochloric acid which is needed for digestion.
water yes juices no
stomach~digests fats this answer is from LRMS ( Leesville Road Middle School) by science teacher Mr.Rutten
The light energy in photosynthesis allows water and carbon dioxide to be combined into glucose. However, enzymes are also necessary in the process.
In monogastric animals, digestion begins in the mouth, where food is mechanically broken down and mixed with saliva, which contains enzymes that start the chemical breakdown of carbohydrates. The food then travels to the stomach, where gastric juices, including hydrochloric acid and pepsin, further digest proteins. The partially digested food moves into the small intestine, where the majority of nutrient absorption occurs, aided by bile and pancreatic enzymes. Finally, indigestible parts are passed into the large intestine for water absorption and eventual excretion.
