Describe the biochemical mechanism throgh which HCl is formed in the stomach(in humans) (?)
1 Answer
Here's my understanding of the mechanism.
Explanation:
Hydrochloric acid is produced by the parietal cells in the stomach.
These cells secrete about 60 mL
roughly 0.16 mol/L.
This is about
Thus, the secretion of hydrochloric acid depends on active transport.
The key player is a proton pump
The dissociation of water within the cell generates
The
The
The proton pump removes
The net effect is that one
