Answer:
True
Step by step explanation:
- Pepsin is a stomach enzyme that serves to digest proteins found in ingested food.
- Gastric chief cells secrete pepsin as an inactive zymogen called pepsinogen.
- Parietal cells within the stomach lining secrete hydrochloric acid that lowers the pH of the stomach.
- A low pH (1.5 to 2) activates pepsin
