Answer 2

ANSWER :-

Proenzyme pepsinogen is converted into the active enzyme pepsin by Hydrochloric acid .

Explanation:

• The Proenzyme pepsinogen an exposure of hydrochloric acid (HCL) gets converted into active enzyme pepsin , the proteolytic enzyme of the stomach. Pepsin converts the protein into Proteoses  and peptones . Both are the peptides.
• The following reaction take place :-
  pepsinogen ⇒ pepsin

         Optimum pH needed for enzyme pepsin  to work is $1.8$

• The mucus and bicarbonate present in gastric juice plays an important role . Hydrochloric acid is highly acidic . It may cause damage to our stomach wall . The mucosal epithelium plays an important role in this . It helps in protection and lubrication of stomach wall from the action of highly acidic hydrochloric acid .
