Q: What is the function of bile in digestion? (2022)
Solution:
Bile emulsifies fats, making them easier to digest by lipases.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Bile is a fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder.
Step 2: When you eat food that contains fats, bile is released into the small intestine.
Step 3: Bile contains bile salts that break down large fat globules into smaller droplets. This process is called emulsification.
Step 4: By breaking down the fats into smaller droplets, bile increases the surface area for digestive enzymes to work on.
Step 5: Lipases, which are enzymes that digest fats, can now easily access and break down the smaller fat droplets.
