Answer 1

1.The acid secreted by the stomach is hypochloric acid.

This acid consists of several enzymes that are necessary for absorption , storage and digestion of food.

2. The lowest PH found in the body is found in the lower cavity of the stomach with 1.5 to 2.0.

5. Hyperventilation causes the increase in PH of the body.

This is because hyperventilation causes decrease in the partial carbondioxide levels and increase in the bicarbonate.

6. Poorly controlled diabetes causes the PH levels of the body to decrease.Usually the intestinal PH is low but in case of diabetes it further decreases and making the body more acidic.
