The enzymes which aid in the digestion of proteins in the stomach is called pepsin. Pepsin needs an optimum pH of about 2 to be effective and that is why the hydrochloric acid is usually secreted in the stomach.
 In the situation where an antacid is used and the acidity of the stomach is neutralized, then, the pepsin enzyme will not be able to perform its function because of altered pH and the protein content of the eaten food will not be digested leading to indigestion in the affected person.<span />

Irina-Kira [14]

Cells are the smallest unit of life. This is true.

Cells are important to the structure and function of living things. This is true.

All organisms are made of multiple cells. This is false, because there are many single celled organisms like bacteria.

Cells come in different shapes and sizes. This is true, as there are cells with a variety of shape and size (round shaped cocci and the elongated and flat bacillus). There are cells from squid's nervous system, called the neurons, that are comparatively very large in size than the vast majority of the other cells.
