(a) In the presence of hydrochloric acid
Pepsinogen is an inactive precursor of pepsin, an enzyme involved in the digestion of proteins in the stomach. The conversion of pepsinogen into its active form, pepsin, occurs in the presence of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach. The acidic environment created by HCl activates pepsinogen, leading to the release of pepsin. Pepsin then plays a crucial role in breaking down proteins into smaller peptides during the process of digestion.
