A
Amino Acid
B
Saliva
C
Enzymes
D
Chyme
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The stomach wall produces gastric juice (hydrochloric acid and enzymes) that digests proteins. The stomach acts like a concrete mixer, churning and mixing food with gastric juice to form chyme-a thick, soupy liquid.

Detailed explanation-2: -November 9, 2020. Chyme (“/kʌɪm/”) is the medical term used to describe the pulpy and semi-fluid composition of partly undigested food, fluid, stomach acid/gastric juices (hydrochloric acid), and digestive enzymes such as pancreatic enzymes and bile.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chyme is a mixture of food and digestive juices that is produced in the stomach. Food enters the large intestine before the small intestine. In the small intestine, chyme mixes with bile, which emulsifies fats. The stomach is separated from the small intestine by the pyloric sphincter.

Detailed explanation-4: -Food and liquids are broken down into a thick, acidic, soupy mixture called chyme. Once chyme is formed, the pyloric sphincter relaxes. Then the stomach muscles tighten and relax to help move the chyme into the duodenum where digestion continues and many nutrients are absorbed (taken up).

Detailed explanation-5: -What is chyme and how does the stomach mix this material? Chyme is a thick semi-fluid of partially digested foods do digestive secretions that forms in the stomach and intestine during digestion. Muscle contractions of the stomach walls help mix food and digestive substances together, forming chyme.
