Biology
ScanSolve AI Answer
Digestion in the stomach is the process where food is mixed with gastric juices, which contain hydrochloric acid and enzymes like pepsin. The acid helps to kill bacteria and provides an optimal pH for pepsin to break down proteins into smaller peptides. The stomach's muscular walls churn the food, creating a semi-liquid mixture called chyme.
