Question

What does gastric juice help to convert? NCERT science Class 7 chapter:-NUTRITION IN ANIMALS​

Answer 1

Answer:

One important component of gastric juice is pepsin. ... Pepsinogen is converted to pepsin when the parietal cells found within the gastric glands secrete hydrochloric acid. The presence of hydrochloric acid creates an acidic environment within the stomach that is needed to convert pepsinogen to pepsin.
