Question :
What Is the Role of Acid in Our Stomach?Submitted on 29/4/2024 | Answered by Vandana RanaAnswer :
The role of acid in the stomach:
Hydrochloric acid is the acid found in our stomach.
Acid makes the stomach's habitat acidic.
It activates inactive pepsinogen into pepsin.
Pepsin helps in protein digestion in the stomach.
It also kills bacteria that are brought into our bodies through food.
Therefore, the digestion of protein occurs.
