Question

Bicarbonate neutralizes the acid in chyme, which allows ___ from the pancreas and small intestine to function.

Answer 1

I think the correct answer would be enzymes. Bicarbonates are able to react and neutralize acid in a chyme which in turn allows digestive enzymes from the small intestine and the pancreas to be excreted. A chyme is an acidic fluid that passes through the digestive system.
