उत्तर
The pH of the gastric juices released during digestion is less than 7.
Explanation:
Gastric juices are highly acidic because they contain hydrochloric acid (HCl), which typically maintains a pH between 1.5 and 3.5. This low pH is essential for activating digestive enzymes like pepsin and for killing harmful bacteria ingested with food.
