Question

write 3 functions of hcl in digestion.

Answer 1

Some of the Functions, for hydrochloric acid are as follows;
Hydrochloric acids serve the following functions in the stomach lining:
1) It kills the harmful bacteria present on the bolus or chyme of food, which helps the immune system to work less and be in a perfect conditions, rather than performing certain actions to kill the bacteria.
2) It provides the acidic medium which is highly required for gastric digestion. Many enzymes of the stomach work in a low pH environment, Hydrochloric acid provides the medium and sustains the ability of pepsin, rennin and other enzymatic molecules.
3) It changes pepsinogen into pepsin and converts prorennin to rennin. These enzymes play an importantly equal role in digestive system, as, they digest the food present in the stomach's cavity. Hence, providing a perfect balance for the food to be dissolved and ensuring the continuation of the digestive process.
4) It softens the food and dissolves hard cement-like materials between the cells of the food in order to make them readily available for enzymatic action, therefore, assisting the enzymes to do the digestion quicker along with making the digestive stages later on more simpler for other enzymes and components.
5) It stops the action of salivary enzyme in a complete way. This too is essential for the stomac enzymes or the lining of the stomach to act on the food in a more efficient way, since, the enzymes of saliva may interfere with the digestion of proteinaceous compounds present in the bolus.
6) It is also believed to control the opening and the closing of the pyloric opening of the stomach, hence, providing the entry for the bolus into the digestive tract and eventually the stomach bag or sac.

Answer 2

Hlo..


HERE IS UR ANSWER...


✔️FUNCTION OF HCL IN DIGESTION ARE:-

✴️HCl converts inactive pepsinogen into active pepsinogen.


✴️HCl kills the microbes present in our stomach.

✴️HCl protect the food from getting rioting.

✴️HCl help in break down of complex form of food into simple form.
