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. ( Physical digestion )
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. ( Chemical digestion )

And the function of the HCL acid is to stimulate pepsin enzyme and make it active

kati45 [8]

Waterborne pathogens can enter coastal waters via leaking sewer pipes and untreated wastewater.

Sewage and untreated wastewaters are filled with microbes some of which are capable of causing diseases to humans and livestock if given the opportunity. Hence, the seeping of these waters into coastal water is a risk to humans who might want to swim or make use of coastal waters.

Precipitation, changing of tides and the interactions of marine organisms and plants will ordinarily not form pathways through which pathogens can gain access to coastal waters.
