Answer:
- HCl is one of the gastric juices secreted by stomach.
- HCl converts the inactive enzyme pepsinogen into its active form pepsin.
- Pepsin digests proteins and breaks them into amino acids.
- HCl also kills harmful pathogens or particles in our food when it reaches the stomach through the gastrointestinal duct.
