Answer:    Acid in the stomach

Explanation: Food digestion begins in the mouth where food is digested, except by chewing, also by the salivary amylase enzyme. The fact that there is a high concentration of acid in the stomach, that is, acidic environment, stops the digestion of food by the salivary enzyme amylase. The usual stomach acidity is between 1 and 2 pH, which is quite acidic. Such acidity causes a change in the structure of the salivary enzyme amylase, which, when it enters the stomach, ceases to have a function for digestion.

Why is the level of development not same every where?​
Tanya [424]

Answer:

the level of development depends on how financially the area is for example in cities ,the level of development is high compared to villages

this is because in cities there are many financial assets like jobs,industries,markets and others

increase in population also increases the level of development because there is large market for produced goods ,I mean in some places where there are lots of people , there is increased development..since the government sets up modern roads,high quality buildings,and others..that differentiates low populated areas from high populated areas

in industrious areas,there is high development because people are employed and they improve infrastructure for example building houses and also roads are developed since they need to transfer goods from industries
