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.

Make a hypothesis about what would happen if you placed an onion cell into a strong salt solution. Please explain.
3241004551 [841]
<span>When you put the cells in a salt solution you are placing the cells into a hypertonic solution. That means the solute concentration outside the cell is higher than the solute concentration inside the cell. You should know from your own studies that water will move from areas of high water concentration to areas of low water concentration. A hight solute concentration means there is low water concentration. That means that the water will move from the onion cell and out into the hypertonic solution and the onion cell will shrivel up.</span>
