All biological enzymes function best at particular pH values. In the normal human stomach, the pH of 2.0-3.0 provides the environment required for the proper functioning of the digestive enzymes found there.

1. How would adding a basic medicine effect the pH of the stomach?

2.What effect would this environment have on the proper functioning of stomach enzymes?

Can anyone help me with this question, as I couldn't find any resources online, thanks!!!

adding a basic medicine? pH goes up.
if pH is not right, enzymes don't funcion well.
