Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Bile juice has bile pigments such as bilirubin and biliverdin. These break down large fat globules into smaller globules so that the pancreatic enzymes can easily act on them.

Bile does not contain any enzyme but it is essential for digestion because bile is alkaline and contain salts which helps to emulsify the fat present in the food. So, the bile perform two functions:

• The food coming from the stomach is acidic and has to be made alkaline for the pancreatic enzymes to act.
• The bile salts breakdown the fat present in the food into smaller globules. This increases the efficiency of enzymes in the small intestine to digest the food effectively.
