Question

hi! pls help for 10 points, thank u!! :))

At the beginning of the lesson, you saw hydrochloric acid breaking
down a hamburger. Hydrochloric acid is present in the stomach.
How do you think enzymes in the stomach might resist being
denatured by such an acidic environment?

Answer 1

The potent hydrochloric acid kills bacteria, protecting your body from harmful microbes which can enter your body in food. Your stomach protects itself from being digested by its own enzymes, or burnt by the corrosive hydrochloric acid

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Enzymes in the stomach function best in acidic conditions. Enzymes in the stomach might resist being denatured by such an acidic environment because the high acidity helps your body break down, digest, and absorb nutrients from food.
