The pH of stomach secretion is low. This means it is acidic. Too much production can corrode the stomach wall. Therefore in such a situation drinking a basic solution with a higher pH neutralizes some of the stomach acidic secretions hence relieving the effect;

Acid + Base - Salt + Water

Please help!What are the roles of a decomposer? Check all that apply.
9966 [12]

Answer:

decomposer decomposes :) so it breaks down the organic matter into simpler compounds. it's very important process because complex compounds that build living organisms are not absorbable for other organisms, thus chemical cycling wouldn't be possible and the whole ecosystem would shut down. dead plants and animals would be everywhere and new organisms couldn't be born/grown. mold breaks down dead organic matter like dead trees. as the result simple compounds come into existence and can be assimilated by plants
