The Ph Of The Gastric Juices Released During Digestion Is (A) Equal To 0 (B) Equal To 7 (C) More Than 7 (D) Less Than 7

Answer: (D) Less than 7

Explanation: Gastric juice is a digestive juice formed within the lining of the stomach. It is a composition of water, HCL (Hydrochloric Acid), numerous electrolytes (like sodium, calcium, sulfur, etc.) and some organic materials like mucus. Gastric juice is also known by the name gastric acid due to the acidic nature of this digestive juice as it contains HCL (HCL stands for Hydrochloric Acid) which is a strong acid. Due to this particular reason, the pH of gastric juice is always less than 7.
