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.
