Question

When the acidic food from stomach comes to small intestine which of the following acts on it to make it alkaline?

• A. Bile
• B. Trypsin
• C. Pepsin
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Bile

• The pancreatic enzymes and intestinal enzymes are optimally active in alkaline pH (8.0-8.4) in the small intestine.
  
• Thus, 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.
