what is gastric juice ?.write the function of hcl
Answers
Answer:
We see that chief cells produce pepsinogen (an inactive form of 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.

Answer:
Hi..!!
✔️ Gastric acid, gastric juice, or stomach acid, is a digestive fluid formed within the stomach lining.
✔️ The main constituent of gastric acid is hydrochloric acid produced by parietal cells in the gastric glands in the stomach.
✔️ Its secretion is a complex and relatively energetically expensive process.
Function of HCl
✔️ Hydrochloric acid activates pepsinogen into the enzyme pepsin, which then aids digestion by breaking the amino acid bonds, a process called proteolysis.
