Question

Which base helps in digestion

Answer 1

Answer:

acid-base, hydrochloric acid helps in digestion.

Explanation:

1. hydrochloric acid that is secreted in the stomach helps in breaking down the ingested food through the mouth. this acid helps in breaking the bonds of the food particle into a simpler form so that it becomes easier for the body to absorb the nutrients.
2. there is another organ called the pancreas which secretes bicarbonate that helps in maintaining the acid-base ratio and maintaining the PH value inside the stomach.
