Question

What would happen if hcl is not secreted in the stomach?

Answer 1

Hydrochloric acid is secreted by the glands present on the stomach walls. It dissolves bits of food and creates an acidic medium. The acidic medium allows pepsinogen to be converted into pepsin. ... Therefore, if HCl werenot secreted in the stomach, then pepsin would not be activated.

Answer 2

Answer:

• In the absence of HCl, pepsinogen is not activated and converted into pepsin.
• Hence, no protein digestion takes place in stomach.
• Carbohydrate digestion continues.
• Bacteria in the stomach will not be killed.
