Question

What helps making the acidic food alkaline that is coming from the stomach?

A.

Pepsin

B.

Gastric juice

C.

Hydrochloric acid

D.

Bile juice

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) Bile juice
 Bile juice is a fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder.
 The acidic food from stomach is made alkaline by the action of bile.
 Bile is alkaline in nature as it contains organic salt known as bile salt.
 It is released into the small intestine to help digest fats and neutralize the acidic chyme (partially digested food) coming from the stomach.
 Bile juice contains bicarbonate, which helps raise the pH and make the chyme more alkaline (pH 6-7). This is necessary for the proper functioning of enzymes in the small intestine that break down carbohydrates and fats.
 Pepsin is an enzyme in gastric juice that helps digest proteins.
