The stomach and the cells that comprise it have a three-part protection system to protect from the acid contained in the stomach, comprised mostly of compact cell unions.
The stomach is one of the main digestive tract organs. Its job is to break down the food we ingest and pass it along to the rest of the digestive tract. To perform this action, the stomach secrets hydrochloric acid. However, the stomach itself is not damaged by this acid due to a three-part protective system comprised of:
- Tight epithelial cell lining
- Mucose Barrier
- Bicarbonate secretion
The cells present in the epithelial lining of the stomach join one another via compact cell unions to form a closed barrier which is then covered by a thick Mucose barrier. This along with the secretion of bicarbonate which works to break up the acids present in the stomach and ingested, form a sealed barrier that protects the stomach from harm.

They catalyze a reaction, making it operate at several orders of magnitude faster than it would otherwise, and don't change the end products
Think of it this way, if someone were to perform surgery sure they could probably do it alone... but things go much faster if there's an assistant (enzyme) there handing them the stuff they need
<span>Every day, somewhere in our planet, a unique species of organism becomes extinct as the las member of that species dies. Some examples of this are the Caribbean Monk Seal, Tasmanian Tiger, Quagga, Passenger Pigeon, and the Baiji River Dolphin.
The answer is: <span>Its species.

One is simple and the other one is compound, simple ;D
