Answer: Hydrochloric acid is responsible for the acidic medium of the stomach, it creates an optimum acidity in the stomach. HCl makes digestion easy in the stomach.

How digestion of food takes place in our digestion system?

  • The process of the breakdown of the food into simpler and soluble particles is called digestion.
  • Teeth convert the food into pieces so that they can digest easily.
  • In the mouth, saliva converts starch into soluble sugar.
  • After the mouth, the bolus of the food goes into the stomach, where the food is partially digested.
  • Partially digested food is completely digested in the small intestine.
  • Undigested food passes into the large intestine, from where the waste product is excreted out through the rectum and anus.

Explanation: The stomach wall releases hydrochloric acid, which makes the medium of the stomach acidic to kill the germ that enters the stomach and activates the pepsin enzyme.

C) behavioral isolation

Explanation:

The mechanisms of reproductive isolation that prevent the formation of a zygote by interbreeding between the individuals of two different species are called pre-zygotic isolation mechanisms.

Ber [7]

One of my passions is keeping up with creationist (and I include Intelligent Design here) attempts to  change what science is.    They wish to supplant the reason and evidence that is the basis for good science with faith instead – specifically their faith. 

Sometimes, actually often, it can become discouraging looking at how many battles must be fought to ensure our schools continue to teach good science; listening to all the politicians expressing their ignorance of science by expressing doubts about evolution; and seeing all the letters and forum responses from those who let their religion totally blind their ability to reason and fairly judge evidence. 

For example, consider these quotes from various prominent politicians:

“There are clear indications from our people who have amazing intellectual capability that this didn’t happen by accident and a creator put this in place,”

“Now, what was his time frame and how did he create the earth that we know? I’m not going to tell you that I’ve got the answers to that,” Perry said. “I believe that we were created by this all-powerful supreme being and how we got to today versus what we look like thousands of years ago, I think there’s enough holes in the theory of evolution to, you know, say there are some holes in that theory.”  Governor and Presidential candidate Rick Perry
