All but one of the following is a function of the low pH found in the stomach. Select the description below that does not reflect a role of stomach acid.
◦ Low pH converts pepsinogen to its active form of pepsin, preventing the protease enzyme from digesting the cells that produce it.
◦ Many potentially harmful bacteria will be prevented entry to the small intestine by stomach acid.
◦ The stomach's acid catabolically breaks down food stuffs in preparation for absorption.
◦ Stomach acid denatures proteins making the poly peptide chain more accessible to pepsin digestive enzymes.
