Answer:

Activates pepsin enzyme

Explanation:

  • Carbohydrates are digested into maltose in the mouth and protein digestion begins in the stomach.  
  • In the stomach, food undergoes chemical as well as physical digestion.
  • Due to the peristaltic action of the muscles the bolus breaks up in the stomach wall and mixes well into a chyme. ( <em>Physical digestion</em> )
  • Several secretions flow into the stomach.
  • It is collectively known as gastric juice.
  • Also the juice contains pepsin and HCL acid.
  • Here, the enzyme pepsin acts on the proteins in the food and forms polypeptides, which are intermediate products of life. ( <em>Chemical digestion</em> )
  • And  the function of the HCL acid  is to stimulate pepsin enzyme and make it active
