Answer 2

Answer:

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is the acid present in the stomach

Explanation:

Once the food reaches the stomach through the oesophagus, digestive enzymes start acting on it. There are three digestive juices in the stomach: HCl, Pepsin, mucous.

HCl acts on the food to convert it to an acidic medium. This acidic medium is required so that pepsin can break down the protein into simpler substances.

The mucous lines the walls of the stomach so that the strong HCl does not corrode the inner lining of our stomach and cause acidity.
