Expert Solution
Step 1
The digestion of proteins begins in the stomach and is completed in the small intestine. The digestive juice secreted by the gastric glands present on the stomach walls is called as gastric juice. The food that enters the stomach becomes acidic on mixing with this gastric juice.
The main components of gastric juice are hydrochloric acid, pepsinogen, mucus, and rennin.
