Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of bile in digestion?
  • Step 1: Bile is a greenish fluid produced by the liver.
  • Step 2: Bile is stored in the gallbladder until it is needed for digestion.
  • Step 3: When you eat fatty foods, the gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine.
  • Step 4: Bile contains substances called bile salts that help break down fats.
  • Step 5: Bile emulsifies fats, which means it breaks them into smaller droplets.
  • Step 6: Smaller fat droplets are easier for digestive enzymes to work on.
  • Step 7: This process helps the body absorb fats and fat-soluble vitamins more effectively.
