What is the role of hydrochloric acid in ur stomach???


busno: kills bacteria and helps in digesting food
minkusoni: HCL breaks down proteins in your stomachto prepare them for digestion and kills bacteria that enter your stomach. It converts the inactive enzyme pepsinogen into the active enzyme pepsin, which is responsible for digesting proteins in your stomach. HCLalso helps digest other foods in your stomach.
busno: get the main point
minkusoni: ok
minkusoni: Hydrochloric acid, also called HCl, is a clear, highly corrosive liquid. HCl is one of the many chemicals released in our stomach when we eat a meal.
busno: then?
