Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The stomach muscles churn and mix the food with digestive juices that have acids and enzymes, breaking it into much smaller, digestible pieces. An acidic environment is needed for the digestion that takes place in the stomach.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is a false statement, as the digestion of food begins in the mouth.
Detailed explanation-3: -The stomach lining secretes acidic gastric juices and enzymes to digest carbohydrate and protein. Then the semi-digested food (called chyme) is delivered to the duodenum – the first part of the small intestine – by passing through another valve, the pyloric sphincter.
