Answer:

Hydrochloric acid acts as a barrier against foreign microorganisms and helps prevent infection. The hydrochloric acid present in the gastric acid helps in the proper digestion of foods. It denatures proteins with its low pH and converts pepsinogen (an enzyme precursor) into pepsin (an active enzyme).

Hope it helps you!!
