Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Pepsin is a stomach enzyme that serves to digest proteins found in ingested food. Gastric chief cells secrete pepsin as an inactive zymogen called pepsinogen. Parietal cells within the stomach lining secrete hydrochloric acid that lowers the pH of the stomach. A low pH (1.5 to 2) activates pepsin.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main chemical digestion processes in the stomach occurs through the action of gastric juices. Gastric juice contains the enzyme pepsin (secreted as pepsinogen), which hydrolyses the chemical breakdown of proteins.
