Answer 1

It creates a medium of gastric juice acidic so that the enzyme pepsin digests the protein and kills the bacteria present in them. Hydrochloric acid helps your body to break down, digest, and absorb nutrients such as protein. The acid activates the pepsinogen enzyme required to digest proteins.

Answer 2

Answer:

The hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice breaks down the food and the digestive enzymes split up the proteins. The acidic gastric juice also kills bacteria.Together with the bicarbonate, this ensures that the stomach wall itself is not damaged by the hydrochloric acid.
