Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice breaks down the food and the digestive enzymes split up the proteins. The acidic gastric juice also kills bacteria. The mucus covers the stomach wall with a protective coating.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach begins protein digestion by denaturing the protein, denaturation results in the loss of the protein’s function. HCl also converts inactive pepsinogen to its active form, pepsin. Pepsin begins breaking the peptide bonds between amino acids.
