The inside of a stomach is coated with a lining that protects it.
This lining is made up of cells called epithelial cells. They coat the stomach with a mucus that neutralizes the acid.

The mucus contains bi-carbonate (a base), similar to baking soda.
Acid + Base = water and salt
So, that’s why taking tums or swallowing baking soda water helps an upset stomach.

When your stomach is upset, it means there’s too much acid. Taking a tums neutralizes that overproduction eating also helps to absorb the excess acid.

The idea that, when life originated on earth, a macromolecule other than dna served the role of information storage and that thi
svet-max [94.6K]

The RNA world hypothesis states that the earlier life-forms had relied only on RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) for the purpose of catalyzing the chemical reactions, and storing the genetic information. This hypothesis was proposed by Leslie Orgel, Carl Woese, and Francis Crick.

This hypothesis states that long before the living forms evolved to use DNA as the genetic storage material, the RNA molecules served the purpose of both storing the genetic information and carrying out catalysis, but because of its instability, DNA evolved.

Hence, the answer is RNA world hypothesis.
