The “soupie” mixture in your stomach is called ____
A
chyme.
B
bile.
C
saliva.
D
mucus.
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: -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 or chymus (/kaɪm/; from Greek khymos, “juice") is the semi-fluid mass of partly digested food that is expelled by a person’s or an animal’s stomach, through the pyloric valve, into the duodenum (the beginning of the small intestine).

Detailed explanation-4: -Chyme is a churned semi-solid food that is formed in the stomach of the digestive tract. The semi-digested food from the mouth enters the stomach where it gets mixed with gastric juice that contains certain enzymes and hydrochloric acid.
