Step 1
We know that the production of HCl is encoded into the DNA of all our cells, so it is not true that only stomach cells have the genes for HCl production or that cells other than stomach cells lack the genes coding for HCl production. Show more…

The production of HCl is encoded into the DNA of all our cells. How is HCl produced only by certain cells in the stomach lining but not produced by any other cells in the body? Only stomach cells have the genes for HCl production. Activators in stomach cells promote the transcription of genes coding for HCl production. Repressors in other cells (not stomach cells) prevent the transcription of genes coding for HCl production. Cells other than stomach cells lack the genes coding for HCl production.
The stomach produces HCl (hydrochloric acid) to aid in the partial chemical digestion of proteins within the stomach. Briefly explain how HCl is produced, its role in aiding digestion, and the mechanisms that protect the lining of the stomach from the corrosive effects of gastric acid. (Use terms including but not limited to - chief cells, parietal cells, pepsin, pepsinogen, H+, and Cl-) Production of HCl: Role of HCl in aiding digestion: Mechanisms that protect the lining of the stomach from the corrosive effects of gastric acid:
